This past Sunday the Active Brooklyn Race Team took part in the Komen Race For The Cure to raise money for breast cancer research. We met our fundraising goal and cruised to the finish line with ease. The weather was perfect for the little over 3 mile run and the crowd was huge. Practically everyone was running for a survivor or someone who passed from this terrible disease. We have all been effected by cancer in one way or another so I am very proud that Active Brooklyn was a part of this extremely important cause and we got some exercise out of it too. So lets all keep lacing up those sneakers to keep the memories of our loved ones in our hearts forever, keep supporting our survivors, and continue to support research to end cancer. Extra special thanks to Alexis and Angel for doing such a great job raising money and for hanging in there the whole way! 

It's not too late to join the Active Brooklyn Race Team or just make a donation.  Let's eradicate breast cancer and get some exercise at the same time!

Active Brooklyn is forming a race team for a good cause... the Komen NYC Race For The Cure. Everyone knows someone who has been effected by breast cancer, so let's all do our part to eliminate this terrible disease.
