On Sunday, September 25, 2011, Downtown Milwaukee hosted the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise money for breast cancer research. This is an incredibly important topic for all women and for men as well. This was the first time I participated in the event, and I was glad I did. I raced in honor of two family members who have fought the disease, one has beat it twice and the other lost her battle her second time around.

Here are some pictures of the event!
