Race for the Cure Update

Race for the Cure - Saturday, October 13

Why do we RACE and Fundraise for breast cancer cures?

  • Because 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
  • Because every 19 seconds, somewhere in the world, a case of breast cancer is diagnosed in a woman.
  • Because every 60 seconds, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer; every 13 minutes, one woman in the U.S. will lose her life to breast cancer.
  • Because in Tidewater, 1716 women and men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
  • Because it’s time to go beyond breast cancer awareness. It’s time to take action!
