Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure

[1] The 3-Day is a series of three-day, 60-mile walks that raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research, education, and community health programs.

3-Day participants raise a minimum of $2,300 and walk an average of 20 miles a day, educating thousands of people about breast health.

The net proceeds fund breast cancer research, education, and community outreach programs.

Arizona, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., however, have been cut from the said event.

While the 3-Day has brought great awareness to the breast cancer cause, participation levels over the last four years have made it difficult to sustain an event of this magnitude in 14 cities.
