I AM THE CURE

I AM THE CURE.®  --- We need your help as a volunteer!

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® created the I AM THE CURE® program to boost educational outreach at Komen Race for the Cure® by motivating Race participants to take an active role in their own breast health. I AM THE CURE® is a rallying cry that is emotional, memorable and motivational. It speaks to the importance of early detection, and provides simple, action-oriented messages that Race participants can implement.

On Race Day

Visit our interactive I AM THE CURE® booth to learn more about breast self-awareness. You can spin the wheel for prizes and ‘take-home’ educational information. You’ll also see our Rovers in the bright pink and green I AM THE CURE® shirts; they’ll be sharing the message of early detection and will reward you for your participation. All throughout the Race, you’ll hear our ‘Cure Leaders’ cheering on Race participants and reminding everyone that we all have the power to be part of the cure!
The four key messages we want Race participants to remember are:

• See your doctor, learn your risk! I AM THE CURE®. 
• Get mammograms and breast exams! I AM THE CURE®. 
• Notice changes to your breasts! I AM THE CURE®. 
• Start the fight by living right! I AM THE CURE®.
