Impact.  Make One.
Since launching the breast cancer movement more than 30 years ago, Komen for the Cure has transformed the culture - bringing breast cancer out of the closet -changing the way the world talks about and treats this devastating disease.  During the journey, it was often controversial and considered inappropriate to discuss diseases of the breast openly.  We've come a long way - but we face new challenges.  Here in San Diego County, many underserved women find breast cancer as a later and more aggressive stage and have a higher mortality rate.  Still others have lost their jobs and can't afford medical insurance.  All of this is compounded by the California state budget crisis which forced the closure of the only free mammogram program open to underserved women in our state.  So, we're doubling our efforts here at Susan G. Komen for the Cure in San Diego to do what we can to raise additional funds.  We raise those funds primarily through the Race for the Cure.
