May 9, 2015, will mark our 18th Annual Komen Central Virginia Race for the Cure®. This year, we are honoring everyday heroes; those who support the breast cancer fight in any way – whether as a co-survivor, sponsor, donor, Race participant, caregiver or friend. And without a doubt, the breast cancer survivors who inspire us every day are our superheroes! Since 1998, the Komen Central Virginia Race for the Cure has been pivotal in our ability to provide over $5 million to community organizations for services to our neighbors in need. Additionally, we have contributed over $1.7 million to fund cutting edge research to find treatments and cures for breast cancer. You, the participants of the Race for the Cure, made this possible. Without your ongoing support, community grants and research contributions would stop. We consider you all to be our everyday heroes. THANK YOU!
