May 7, 2011 The Susan G. Komen “RACE FOR THE CURE” in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 15 Thousand People came out to support the cause! Participants enjoyed a 1 mile or 5K [3 mile] run/walk. This was an incredible event that gave inspiration to those fighting the terrible disease of Breast Cancer, and also hope for a much brighter future for all of our children and future generations. The best part of the day was meeting so many cool people, and sharing the collective energy created when we unite in Doing Good.

May 8, 2010 The Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 18 Thousand People came out to support the cause! Participants enjoyed a 1 mile run/walk or a 5 K. This was an incredible event that gave inspiration for those fighting the terrible disease of Breast Cancer, and also gives hope for a much brighter future for our children. The best part of the day was meeting so many cool people, and sharing the collective energy created when people unite in Doing Good.

I participated in this race with my daughter and two friends in honor of my mother Linda, a 2-year Breast Cancer Survivor. We also remembered family survivors Cheryl, and Kris, and ran in remembrance of Debby’s sweet sister Cindy, who lost her valiant fight to Cancer too young.

I created this video as a gift to share our experience with Mom, who could not attend. However, we don’t think she’ll mind sharing with everyone else to enjoy as well! All photos and video clips included were taken with my personal camera and are copyrighted to me [apologies for the low quality video feed]. THANK YOU to all of the beautiful people who came out to support the race, and allowed me to take their photos. I hope you will get to see this, and enjoy! I hope to see ALL of these amazing people again, NEXT YEAR!

Another BIG THANK YOU to all of the organizers, sponsors and City works personnel, police & fire departments, and hundreds of volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make this day not only possible, but AMAZING! You are TRUE HEROES!

Wishing all Women everywhere a Happy Mothers Day!
I love you Mom!

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease. With funds raised by the Komen Race for the Cure® Series, Komen with its Affiliate Network is able to fund breast cancer research grants, meritorious awards and educational, scientific and community outreach programs around the world. Since its origination in Dallas in 1983, the Komen for the Cure® Series has grown from one local Race with 800 participants to a series of more than 100 Races with more than one million people expected to participate.

The Los Angeles County Affiliate has raised over $7 million to fund breast cancer programs and research in the last 12 years, which have gone to provide the medically underserved and uninsured populations in Los Angeles County with screening, diagnostic tests and treatments for breast cancer. On Sunday March 15, 2009, we invited you to be a part of the Los Angeles County 13th Annual Komen Race for the Cure® and thousands helped us become one step closer to living in a world without breast cancer.
