WATERLOO (September 26, 2006) - Be a pink ribbon runner or walker by supporting the Komen Des Moines Race for the Cure on Saturday, October 28, 2006 at Principal Park, Des Moines.

Every year the Des Moines Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation supports education and no cost mammograms to women and men in its 81 counties. Black Hawk County has received over $150,000 for education and mammogram services for persons living in Northeast Iowa as a result of money raised from the annual Race for the Cure.
