Events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and the Susan G Komen 3-Day for the Cure have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world, thanks to volunteers and activists, such as Susanna Hager.

People the world over can become involved in the Susan G.
