Race for
the Cure
THE SUSAN G. KOMEN Race for the Cure is
coming back to Eugene.
The second annual local version of the
worldwide event is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 23.
The race series is one of the largest and most
successful education and fundraising events for
breast cancer.
More than 7,000 runners, walkers and volunteers
of all ages and ftness levels participated in last
year’s race in Eugene, including more than 600 from
PeaceHealth, presenting sponsor of the event.
Three-quarters of the money raised by the event
will go to local organizations for grants, screenings
and education about breast cancer and breast health.
The remaining funds go to breast cancer research.
The breast cancer rate in the Pacifc Northwest
is among the highest in the nation. Each week in
Oregon, an estimated 53 women are diagnosed
with breast cancer and 10 die of the disease.
Late-stage breast cancer diagnoses in Lane County
exceed the state average.
