SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Out of an abundance of caution and care for the immunocompromised members of our Race for the Cure family and given the trends of the Delta Variant of the COVID-19 virus, the 2021 Susan G. Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure will no longer have an in-person gathering.
We have created a one-of-a-kind, community based, program for you to race, walk, hike or bike in your neighborhood with your team, family, and friends. We will countdown to race day together with the Power of One Week starting on Monday, October 11, 2021. Be sure to join our Hawaii Race for the Cure Facebook Group to participate in the activities along with everyone registered for this year’s Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure. On Sunday, October 17, 2021, we will walk for the people who can’t: For those too weakened by treatment to join. For those who are suffering. For those we have lost. Together we will fight back against breast cancer.
Join us no matter where you are and feel the presence of our ONE community every step of the way.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without normal control. Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S. Breast cancer knows no boundaries - be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location. But there is hope. Thanks to heightened awareness, early detection, improved treatment methods and increased access to breast health services, people have a greater chance of survival than ever before.
Making sense of the ever-changing world of breast cancer can be very overwhelming though. The Understanding Breast Cancer section of komen.org is your one-stop resource for the latest information on breast cancer risk factors, early detection and screening, diagnosis, treatment and support. You can also find information on integrative and complementary therapies, life after treatment, quality of care and much more.
The Understanding Breast Cancer section was co-developed with Harvard Medical School faculty and Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center staff.
