We still need your help with reaching our goal. We are only $72,893.00 away from being able to help the woman and men suffering from Breast Cancer here in Kentucky! So take the time to donate what you can, to help us help others and to save lives! An $88 donation buys a Kentucky woman a mamogram, so please help us reach our goal!
A group of women in Lexington wanted to make a difference because their lives were being touched through family and friends by breast cancer. Many of the women happened to be runners and they decided to begin the first Lexington Race for the Cure in 1997.
That first race was held at the Horse Park and had 1,700 participants. Since that date the Susan G. Komen, Lexington Affiliate has raised over $3 million in the fight against breast cancer and had over 6000 participants last year.
Seventy five percent of net funds raised stay in Kentucky, which includes 58 counties in central, eastern and southern Kentucky.That's over $520,000 granted last year to help our uninsured and under insured get the treatment, screening, and education they need. The remaining twenty-five percent is sent to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to fund National Research for breast cancer. Komen has invested nearly $1 billion in breast cancer research and community outreach programs in the past 25 years. |
