Why Do We Race and Walk for a Cure?
Is it because someone dies of breast cancer every 75 seconds? Is it because each year, 1.1 million women are diagnosed and 410,000 die of breast cancer worldwide? Thousands of committed people throughout the Sacramento Valley and beyond show up each year on the day before Mother's Day for the Susan G. Komen Sacramento Race for the Cure®. They know personally, it's a race against time, with the lives of loved ones hanging in the balance. It may be that they all believe in Komen's quest and can "Imagine ... Life without Breast Cancer"
