A walk/run event that has become the world’s largest breast cancer organization is coming to Central Wisconsin. And your help is needed.
The Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure” will hold its first Central Wisconsin “Race for the Cure” on Sunday, August 22, in downtown Wausau.
The 5K run/walk begins at 9 a.m. with a one-mile family fun walk at 9:15 a.m.
Organizers hope for 1,000 participants to raise $100,000. Up to 75 percent of funds will remain in Central Wisconsin to provide breast health research, diagnostics, screening, treatment, services and education for uninsured or underinsured women. Olympian and Central Wisconsin native Suzy Favor Hamilton will participate.
