The Massachusetts Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Presents the 20th Annual Race for the Cure®

The Massachusetts Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® (Komen MA) is proud to present the 20th Annual Komen MA Race for the Cure® on October 20, 2012 at Joe Moakley Park in South Boston. 

Join us as we celebrate the Commonwealth’s breast cancer survivors, support those currently fighting breast cancer, and remember those we have lost. 

Our fitness walk/run is truly a memorable day. Our event is a nonprofit fundraising event dedicated to raising dollars to support local breast health programs that cover education, prevention, screening, and treatment while also funding the most promising research on the national level.  Last year, our race was cancelled due to inclement weather, so this year we’re coming back even stronger than ever.
