The 15th annual Susan G. Komen North Florida Race for the Cure will be held on Saturday, October 17 2009, at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville, FL and Flaxmatters.com will be there to sponsor the event.
A little background on the organization, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting for a world without breast cancer.
In 2008 the Susan G. Komen North Florida Race for the Cure had over 6,200 participants in the Race and raised more than $320,000. For the 2009 Susan G. Komen North Florida Race for the Cure, there is a set goal of 7,000 participants and $425,000 in income.
Flaxmatters.com will donate Mini Ultra Samples to participants in the event and hopes to help achieve the 2009 goal and help in the promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find cures.
