We Ride Because...
- One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
- Because every minute, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer.
- And because, breast cancer knows no boundaries- be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location.
- We continue to Ride because at the current rate, 13 million breast cancer deaths around the world will occur in the next 25 years.
Your support helps Susan G. Komen get one step closer to a world without breast cancer. Funds raised help support Komen’s work to save lives through breakthrough research and advocacy, and to support patients through the Komen Breast Care Helpline, Clinical Trial Information Helpline, Financial Assistance Program and other direct patient support services. Together, we are fueling the best science, boldest community, and biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer. And we will not stop until this disease is gone forever. That's our promise.
