The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is an annual fundraising event aimed at raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support. Participants can walk or run in various distances, promoting health and community involvement while honoring those affected by breast cancer. Founded in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker in memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, the event has grown into a global movement. Proceeds from the race support education, screening, and treatment programs, making a significant impact on breast cancer awareness and research initiatives worldwide.
