I AM THE CURE

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® created the I AM THE CURE® program to help inspire Komen Race for the Cure participants to take an active role in their own breast health. “I AM THE CURE!” is a rallying cry that speaks to the importance of early detection, and provides simple, action-oriented messages that Race participants can put into action.

On Race Day
Visit the I AM THE CURE booth to learn more about breast self-awareness, spin the wheel for prizes and take home educational information. You’ll also see our Rovers in the bright pink and green I AM THE CURE shirts - they’ll be sharing the message of early detection and will reward you for your participation. All throughout the Race, you’ll hear our ‘Cure Leaders’ cheering on Race participants and reminding everyone that we all have the power to be part of the cure!

The four proactive breast health messages we want Race participants to remember are:

Know your breast cancer risk

Get screened

Know what is normal for you

Make healthy lifestyle choices
