Your support has made a difference and is even more critical now. For nine years, our team has grown and our contribution to the cause has increased each year. In 2009, 24,421 people, including 1657 survivors participated in the race in NYC and raised over $5.21 million.
Whether you are a walker or runner; or a donor planning a weekend trip to New York, you can support breast cancer research and meet other members in an informal setting that promises to be a fun and memorable event.
Your spouse, significant other, children, siblings, friends and colleagues are also welcome to be part of the team. T-shirts and other goodies will be distributed on race day.
We have established a team on the Komen website (www.komennyc.org) to facilitate registration and recognition for our efforts.
