There’s never been a better reason to grab your old pair of sneakers: on September 30, you can join thousands of runners at the University of Toronto for the Canadian Breast Cancer CIBC Run for the Cure.

“One in nine women (is) diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime,” says Sandra Palmaro, CEO of Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation-Ontario. “There is still so much more for us to learn and it is critical that we continue to invest in innovative and relevant research each and every year.”
