Komen Orange County Race for the Cure

The Susan G. Komen Orange County Race for the Cure is coming up soon on Sunday, Sept. 26 at Fashion Island in Newport Beach .



There is a one-mile fun walk that takes place at 8 a.m. where parents and children of all ages are invited to walk for the cure. There is a  great area called the KidsZone sponsored by FreeCreditScore.com in the Wellness Expo, which will be open from 6:30 a.m. to noon. Parents must accompany their children in the KidsZone, but there are fun activities that the whole family will enjoy. Some of the activities to look forward to are the Home Depot Plant-a-Pot, Hollywood Glamour Girls trailer, rock climbing “ Mt. Komen ,” face painting, “Mad Science” activities, and CHP motorcycles.

 Race participants are encouraged to take the 125 challenge – a call-to-action for each person to raise at least $125, the average cost of a life-saving mammogram. For Facebook users, raising money for the cure is made even easier with a new application allowing users to extend fundraising efforts to their networks of friends.
