Share Your Stories - Read stories

Welcome to the Share Your Stories page. The stories are from our supporters, survivors, participants and sponsors--in other words, you! Together, we do make a difference.

After reading the stories and recollections, we hope you will also be inspired. Take a few moments to jot something down and e-mail it to us. Your story could help motivate, inspire or bring hope to someone facing treatment or who was just diagnosed this year. We look forward to hearing from you, because we know you have something wonderful to share.

  • Each story should be 250 words or less.
  • Let us know how the Komen National Race for the Cure has touched your life or the life of someone you know.
  • Include your First Name, your City, State and a Title, which becomes your header. If you do not submit a title, one will be provided for you.
  • E-mail your story to survivor@nationalraceforthecure.org. Call 703-416-RACE(7223) with any questions.
