Komen’s largest fundraising event series, evolved from the Race for the Cure in Each year, we host over , participants at our 40+ in-person (and one virtual) walks across the U.S. Since the first Walk in , our participants have raised more than $60 million dollars and continue to be a part of a community committed to our vision of a world without breast cancer.
With inclusive and accessible options for people of all ages and abilities – including breast cancer survivors, those currently in treatment for breast cancer and people living with metastatic breast cancer – the Walk provides participants the opportunity to come together and connect in meaningful ways. It allows us to focus on sharing our passion, sharing our stories and connecting with others, all while fundraising to support life-saving programs and research.

Over the past year we’ve updated you on Michelle Bynum and her family. Now we need to ask for your help.
14 days ago Michelle was hospitalized due to immense pain. As the doctors worked to uncover the cause of her pain, Michelle’s internal organs began working inefficiently and she started retaining massive amounts of fluid. The doctors had to give Michelle a significant amount of medication for her pain and to reduce the fluid retention. In one day they eliminated approximately 15 pounds of fluid. She has also had several blood transfusions.
It has been a very scary and overwhelming time for her family. They kept a round the clock schedule watching over her, praying for her, and in the midst of all this graciously keeping us updated on her progress. By last Thursday, Michelle had stabilized and the doctors were able to significantly reduce her pain medication. She is beginning to get stronger and thankfully was able to go home over the weekend.
As if this weren’t enough, last week Michelle’s husband Brad was told that his company is being dissolved. Brad has immediately jumped into action
