On Mother’s Day, the tri-state area will once again take to the streets for the 26th annual “Susan G. Komen Philadelphia Race for the Cure”, the world’s largest fundraising event for breast cancer.

“Anyone is invited who wants to support our mission, run or walk a attractive 5K course that twice crosses the James River”, Ms. Quisenberry notes, “as well as celebrate the women and men who are breast cancer survivors and remember those who have lost their lives to breast cancer”.
“I’ll be manning the registration table while my husband, Barry will be doing the walking”, Enockson said.
It was the 18th year for the event.
