Inspire Hope, Save Lives, Help End Breast Cancer Forever

DETROIT, May 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 30,000 people of all ages will gather on Saturday, May 22, at Comerica Park for the 19th Annual Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure®. More than 10,000 pink ribbons and 240 large, pink street banners will line Woodward Ave. and around Comerica Park to greet supporters, honor loved ones, and celebrate survivors who are walking or running in Michigan's largest foot race. Metro Detroiters continue to demonstrate that even in the most challenging of times, their generosity and support for others is heartfelt and unwavering. Nowhere do we feel a more powerful sense of hope, and determined spirit to end breast cancer forever, than at the Komen Detroit Race for the Cure®. Just ask any of the 30,000+ participants and the more than 100 local sponsors and underwriters who will take part in this special Race.

The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute has been the local presenting sponsor of the Komen Detroit Race for the Cure® for the past 18 years. Together, our community has rallied the support of family, friends, neighbors and coworkers to raise $2 million in 2009 alone in the fight against breast cancer. As a result, $1.5 million funded breast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment programs in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, allowing the uninsured and underinsured to receive the needed services they might not otherwise get. Additionally, $320,600 was contributed to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program, with much of this funding benefiting Michigan scientists. Since 1992, the Detroit Race has raised a total of $17.5 million in the fight against breast cancer.

Every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 women will die from breast cancer this year alone. Help us end breast cancer. Be part of the 2010 Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure®. Every step you take in this inspirational movement – a 5K competitive race, a 5K walk or a one-mile walk – will bring us closer to a cure.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.  

Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, Komen for the Cure has invested more than $1.5 billion to fulfill the promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
