Why Do We Race and Walk for a Cure?
Is it because a Mom, a sister, a wife, a friend dies of breast cancer every 75 seconds? Is it because every year 1.1 million women are diagnosed and 410,000 die of breast cancer worldwide? Thousands of committed people throughout the Greater Peoria area show up each year on the Saturday before Mother's Day for the Susan G. Komen Peoria Memorial 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™".
