About the Program
The I AM THE CURE. program is a visual, engaging and powerful way for us to reach every Race participant with the important messages about proactive breast health. Susan G. Komen for the Cure created the I AM THE CURE.® program to boost the educational outreach of the Komen Race for the Cure Series 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 put into action.

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!
