t’s coming up on that time of year again and Columbus movers are excited to announce that the annual Susan G. Komen Columbus: The 2015 Race for the Cure Columbus registration is open.
This year, the race is expanding to Ohio University, where it is teaming up with the university’s School of Nursing to “put a pink paw into southeast Ohio,” according to 10TV.
Executive Director Katie Carter explains that this part of Ohio is critical in the fight against breast cancer by stating, “I think it’s a big deal because it’s away from Columbus, we have 30 counties that we serve. It gives people the opportunity to come from other counties and get involved in an event that we celebrate every year. Columbus has been the largest race for the cure, why not add another!”
The Komen Athens Race for the Cure will take place on Sunday, October 25th at 12 p.m. and this year, attendees can use the hashtag #NewAtKomen for their social media sharing. You can register online at columbus.info-komen.org as an individual, a team, or join an existing team. The 2015 goal is to have 35,000 people register and raise $50,000. So if you are moving to Columbus, this is the perfect way to get involved in the community and serve the great cause of creating awareness while raising funds for breast cancer.
