A sea of pink united in Plano: Komen Race for the Cure

Komen Race for the Cure: Mission to end breast cancer

Teams of survivors, supporters, and advocates worked to raise money for programs to help those who are currently fighting the disease.

PLANO, Texas - The Komen Dallas North Texas Race for the Cure brought together thousands of people on Saturday who are on a mission to end breast cancer.

The annual event marked by a sea of pink and inspiring stories of resilience is being held this year at The Campus at Legacy in Plano.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation has provided around $1.2 million in financial assistance to about 2,200 Texans fighting breast cancer battles in 2024.

"I just want people to get tested and get their mammograms," said Ami Patel, cancer survivor. "I was fortunate enough to identify and detect things earlier and early detection does save lives."

Teams of survivors, supporters, and advocates worked to raise money for programs to help those who are currently fighting the disease on Saturday morning.

Nothing stopped these cancer survivors from crossing the finish line.
