Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (October 1, 2017) – On Sunday, October 1, almost 300 Sault Ste. Marie Changemakers participated in the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure by joining the 5k or 1k walk or run at the Roberta Bondar Pavillion. Changemakers are the women, men, families, friends, survivors, researchers, doctors, colleagues, neighbours, students, volunteers, sponsors who support the breast cancer cause. Those individuals raised $42,308.89 – funds that are directed to the breast cancer cause.

To date, more than $360 million has been invested in breast cancer research by the Canadian Cancer Society and the former Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation combined, funding more than 1,000 research projects. The Run is the largest, single-day, volunteer-led event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, support services, health education and advocacy programs.
