“We couldn’t have asked for a better event,” said Colleen Campbell, Susan G. Komen North Texas Race for the Cure chairwoman. “It was a beautiful day with thousands of local residents celebrating the progress we have made, honoring breast cancer survivors and remembering those we have lost. The funds raised from the North Texas Race for the Cure will truly make a difference right here in our community, providing breast cancer services to those who may not otherwise get diagnosis or treatment.”

The Race included a 5K run/fitness walk, one mile family fun run/walk and Kids Dash sponsored by Accenture. The 5K race results can be reviewed at http://www.runontexas.com/Results/Spring2008/KomenNorthTexas2008/KomenNorthTexaMenu.htm.The event was hosted and emceed by local honorary chairs, the women of CBS 11 and TXA 21. It concluded with a celebration honoring the nearly 700 breast cancer survivors who participated in the event.
