In this challenging economy, we know the fight against breast cancer is great because 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. At 15% unemployment in Fresno County, many unemployed women have lost health insurance that covers life-saving breast cancer screening. This unemployment has a domino affect because 1 in 8 Americans go hungry daily.
Because Fresno County's needs are so severe this year, Komen Central Valley Race for the Cure is introducing a new challenge. We will reduce hunger in our county while Racing to end breast cancer.
As you join us for the Race, we invite participants to donate non-perishable food items to benefit the Poverello House where 1300 meals a day are served.
Donation bins will be available on Race Day, October 24 @ CSUF near Komen Race Registration tables. REGISTER FOR RACE
