Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure

Hello All, Our wonderful friends have put together a team, in honor of Victoria, to participate in the 20th annual Phoenix Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure. The race will take part on 14 October 2012 here in Phoenix. Victoria has been an incredible inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others. She has faced this battle courageously and has never lost sight of the goal to win this war! Fortunately, Victoria has had access to excellent healthcare and an unwavering support system composed of a loving family and incredible friends. Unfortunately, breast cancer is not selective of it's victims and there are countless people that have and will continue to benefit from Susan G. Komen. So, how can you show your support for Victoria and Susan G. Komen?
