Thousands of racers raised money to fight breast cancer at the first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in four years.
partner the Susan G. Komen Foundation and its supporters raised awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer at Sunday morning's Race for the Cure in Central Park. Breast cancer survivors, their loved ones and those who have lost someone they love came together for the first time in four years.
As a prelude to pump up the crowd, the CBS New York team welcomed a parade of survivors, cheering for a serious cause. The Race for the Cure raised more than $500,000 towards the battle against breast cancer, including more than $70,000 from top fundraiser Team Lord Abbett. "This is such a monumental thing," said runner Yacov Wrocherinsky."My sister died of breast cancer, and I've been doing it for 20 years, and I'm very excited to be here."
