Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure Comes to Boston This Weekend
Organizers expect the 5K walk will draw more than 7,000 people into the city and raise more than $1 million for breast cancer research.
In Massachusetts, 133 women out of every 100,000 will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
This means that during your lifetime, there's a chance that you, a family member or friend could be diagnosed. Luckily, thanks to awareness, research and investment into the prevention of breast cancer by organizations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure, mortality rates are dropping, and more and more people are coming together to support those fighting against breast cancer.
More than 7,000 breast cancer survivors and supporters will take to the streets of Boston this weekend for the 2012 Komen Massachusetts Race for the Cure. The 5k-timed race and untimed walk will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. in Joe Moakley Park, South Boston.

People give Susan G. Komen money to fight breast cancer and Susan G. Komen gives some of that donated money to the babykillers at Planned Parenthood. I don't think people who give money to Susan G. Komen to fight breast cancer, know their money is going to an abortion organization that kills unborn babies.
