Held virtually the past two years, the Susan G. Komen Columbus Race for the Cure, which raises awareness and funds to fight breast cancer, will take place May 14.
Komen Columbus Race for the Cure will take place virtually Saturday for the second straight year, leaving Downtown streets devoid of the pink sea of supporters that traditionally have run and walked to raise awareness, money and support for breast cancer patients and survivors.
The main event s cancellation due to ongoing coronavirus precautions doesn t mean that there is any less passion from participants.
Among them is Rosemary Walton, a top Komen fundraiser for the past eight years.
Using a long list of contacts, the retired social work administrator in the Ohio Department of Medicaid has used her Facebook page and gentle prodding of potential donors to raise thousands of dollars annually.
