PORTLAND, OR (PRWEB) August 5, 2004

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Race for the Cure Series is the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world. Since its origination in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure Series has grown from one Race with 800 participants to a national series of more than 100 Races with over 1.5 million people expected to participate in 2004. Locally, the 13th annual Komen Portland Race for the Cure will feature co-ed and womenÂ’s 5K runs and 5k walks; a one-mile family walk; a survivor celebration tent; and an awards ceremony. The Komen Portland Race for the Cure has averaged 39,000 participants for the past five years.

In conjunction with their sponsorship, LA Weight Loss will be exhibiting at the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Health Expo scheduled for September 17-18, 2004, at the Oregon Convention Center. The Health Expo is free and open to everyone.

“We’re very excited to partner with an organization as important as Susan G. Komen,” comments Julie Olson, Director of Marketing for LA Weight Loss Centers. “We hope that with our participation and with the support of the community, this will be one race that we all can win.”

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36. Today, the Foundation is an international organization with a network of volunteers working through local Affiliates and Komen Race for the Cure events to eradicate breast cancer by advancing research, education, screening and treatment. The Foundation runs one of the most innovative and responsive award and research programs in breast cancer today. In addition to funding research, the Foundation and its Affiliates fund community-based grants addressing breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved.
