Komen Maryland Race for the Cure


Imagine combining a runner's endorphin high with that "I'm-such-a-good-person" feeling you get after participating in a event that changes the lives of others. Chances are you might feel just that great after the Race for the Cure.

This 5K run/walk benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the research, education, screening, and treatment of the disease that has been the foundation's mission since 1982 (20 years ago a woman diagnosed had a 76 percent chance of surviving five years; today it's 90 percent).
