More about the Breast Cancer 3-Day

“The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure® is an amazing 60-mile walk

that helps mothers, sisters, spouses and friends get one step closer to a world without breast cancer. For three inspirational days, together we walk so long, so far and with so much hope, the world hears our footsteps.

The net proceeds from the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure® are invested in breast cancer research and community programs.

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen,

she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement.

Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network

of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure® and the 3-Day for the Cure, the organization has invested more than $1.9 billion to fulfill its promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.”
