The JCU team invites all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and outside community members, to participate in the 2K walk & 5K run, and to join the fight against breast cancer.
On the morning of May 7, the JCU team will meet at a TBD location and will be provided with breakfast before heading to the race. To participate please fill out this form and join the JCU team by completing the form on the Race for the Cure page. A contribution of 15 euros per person is required to sign up for the race. Participants will receive a Race for the Cure t-shirt and a JCU hat. People who cannot join the race but would like to donate to the cause can do so through the official Race for the Cure website.
For further information about the race and/or the silent auction, please contact the Athletics Department by email at [email protected].
The Susan G. Komen organization was created in 1982, with $200 and a shoebox full of potential donor names. The organization has now grown into the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer. To date, the Susan G. Komen organization has invested more than $3.3 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy, and programs in more than 60 countries. The organization’s efforts helped reduce deaths from breast cancer by 40 percent between 1989 and 2016.
