Run. Walk. Get inspired. Get involved.
Join more than 1 million participants worldwide - and make a difference.
Cheer on our team! Madison Area Technical College is forming a team again this year for the Susan G. Komen Madison Race for a Cure event on Saturday, June 2. This 5K run/walk and 1 mile walk benefit the Madison affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Why should you become involved in this important fund raiser? Because breast cancer touches so many of us. Over 178,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the United States during 2007, and over 40,000 women are estimated to die from breast cancer. In addition, over 2,000 males will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 450 will die from the disease.
