19th ANNUAL KOMEN MASSACHUSETTS RACE FOR THE CURE

The Massachusetts Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure (Komen MA) is proud  to present the 19th Annual Komen MA Race for the Cure on October 30, 2011 at Joe  Moakley Park in South Boston. The race will begin at 10:00 a.m.

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, we had over 5,500  participants walk or run with us! Join us in making an impact in our own  communities!

The first Massachusetts Race for the Cure was held in 1993.  Since 2003, over 30,000 men, women, and children have participated in the  Affiliate]s 5K fitness run/walk event.
