October is Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
According to Miami
Matters, 19.6 out of every 100,000 women in Miami-Dade County die
due to breast cancer, which is better than Florida's average. Since 1990, the
overall breast cancer death rates have been declining due to advancements in
treatment and detection. Click

in the fight against breast cancer.

Participating
in the Race for the Cure® as a team multiplies the fun, the laughter and
maybe even the tears that you share on Race Day. Rally around someone you know
who was just diagnosed, someone who has fought the battle, or someone who may
have lost the battle. Together, with your friends, family and co-workers, you
make an even greater impact than you could alone.
As
a member of this team, you will get a race number, a Susan G. Komen Race for
the Cure® t-shirt, and a great feeling!
