Race for the Cure® 2021

Race for the Cure® is the world’s biggest sporting event for women’s health. It started when Nancy G. Brinker founded the American breast cancer organisation Susan G. Komen after losing her sister to breast cancer. In 1983, the first Race for the Cure in Dallas welcomed 800 participants. An unexpected success! Nowadays, people gather in over 140 cities around the world to celebrate life and honour those who have lost their lives due to breast cancer. In Europe, Race for the Cure® helps breast cancer organisations and hospitals raise awareness and funds. With 500.000 new diagnoses and 125.000 people who die of breast cancer every year in Europe, these funds are of vital importance.

Race for the Cure® 2021 will be subject once again to Covid 19 restrictions. It is possible to participate virtually and hopefully together at The lake in Echternach again, but that will need to be confirmed soon.
