"Having complete strangers thank me for running for them/their mothers/their friends... and spectators adding their own aid stations with hoses... and kind words of encouragement was enough to touch my heart in a way I didn’t expect.
...As long as you put this race on, I will be a participant. In addition, you have gained a supporter in your fight against breast cancer. I was truly moved by this experience. Thank you so much. I’ll say a prayer for you and others who fight for the cure."
- John, Inaugural Marathon Finisher
This inaugural year was a huge success, with more than 7,000 runners and over $800,000 raised to date. The fundraising deadline for this year is March 31. Thanks to all who chose to raise funds to FINISH BREAST CANCER!
