17th Annual Susan G. Komen San Francisco Race for the Cure: Sunday, September 23, 2007 from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM beginning near the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Sponsored by the Stanford Cancer Center/Northern California Cancer Center, this 5K Run/Walk or one-mile Fun Walk will raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer while celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease. The Susan G. Komen national organization provides enormous financial support for breast cancer research, novel clinical trials, and the training of future breast cancer specialists through a dedicated fellowship program at many cancer centers around the U.S., including Stanford. The national organization is closely linked with the San Francisco affiliate office, which provides support services for numerous organizations in the greater Bay Area region such as Meals on Wheels, free mammograms for low income women, and the Community Breast Health Project in Palo Alto.
