The Rome edition of the world’s biggest event in support of breast cancer took place on Sunday 20 May, and EJR-Quartz staff were there to show their support. Organised by the Susan G. Komen Association, funds raised by the event go towards cancer awareness and breast cancer prevention programmes.
A record-breaking 70,000 people took part in the 5 km race this year, the course taking participants through the beautiful historic centre of Rome, for once free of traffic. From EJR-Quartz Erica Rolfe, Maria Bennett, Kelsea Brennan-Wessels Marcello Cappelletti completed the race. With funds raised through the Race for the Cure since 2000, Komen Italia has raised around 3 million euros and has set up over 421 projects and associations in the fight against breast cancer. It’s not too late to join, you can still donate to Race for the Cure online: http://www.raceroma.it/fai-una-donazione.php
