Komen Race for the Cure

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. That promise became Susan G Komen for the Cure® in 1982, launching the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists in over 120 cities and 200 countries. We have played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer over the past 30 years, transforming the way the world talks about and treats this devastating disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer Survivors.
