“It started with a promise…it will end with a cure.” 
The 14th annual Susan G. Koman Southern Nevada Race for the Cure will be held on May 2 in Las Vegas. The route will begin at Las Vegas Blvd. and Clark and continue through downtown to Las Vegas Blvd and Fremont – the Fremont Street Experience.
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation was established by Nancy Brinker after her sister, Suzy, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978. Treatment options were limited and there was little if any public recognition of the cause or impact of breast cancer. Suzy died at the age of 36 and her sister Nancy made it her goal to fund health care options, develop treatments and raise awareness of this deadly disease. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation officially opened its doors in 1982.
The Race for the Cure is the largest single fundraiser for the Koman organization. Proceeds from the race help fund breast health education, cancer screening, patient support and treatment.
On average, 75 percent of the funds raised in Nevada stay in Nevada to help local women.
Online registration will be available through Monday April 27, however you may register up to and including race day and there is still time to be a sponsor or volunteer at the event.
