Survivors
One in eight women who reach the age of 80 will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is a disease that claims the lives of many but for many more it's a disease that spurs them to action.

This honor will be awarded to a participating supporter of the event and a survivor of breast cancer, the nation’s 2nd leading cause of cancer-related death among women according to the American Cancer Society. Eligible individuals must be a breast cancer survivor of at least two years, have participated in the Komen Q.C. Race for the Cure, be enthusiastic about the cause, and have an optimistic attitude and passion for helping others in the community.
