NorthPark Center in Dallas will soon be surrounded in pink for the annual Komen Dallas Race for the Cure.

It will be an emotional day for survivors, cancer fighters, their supporters and those who have lost loved ones to cancer.

“I said to the when we had our one-year anniversary that they were my inspiration. They were there for me through every piece of it – cooking for me, taking care of me, taking me to treatments. I needed all of it, needed the energy. It meant so much to me,” she said.
Last year, the 1K and 5K races raised more than a million for the organization. About 75% of the money stays in Dallas County to pay for screenings, treatment and research
