Race for the Cure early entry form available

One out of every eight women living past the age of 85 will develop breast cancer. You can join in the fight against this disease by participating in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Charleston, SC Race for the Cure on Saturday, Oct. 16.

Early registration for the race is now available. Simply fill out the form below.

Seventy-five percent of the Charleston races's proceeds fund breast cancer screening, education and awareness projects in the lower half of South Carolina. The remaining 25 percent helps fund the Komen Foundation's National Grant Program. Since its inception in 1994, the Charleston race has granted more than $320,000 to breast health programs in our state.

This year, the American Cancer Society estimates that 2,600 women in South Carolina will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Six-hundred will die. The Komen Foundation, working through local chapters and Race for the Cure events in 99 cities, is fighting to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment.

For more information, visit the race website at <http://hcc.musc.edu/race4cure>, or call the Race Hotline at (843) 792-9186.
