Organizers stress that in the fight against breast cancer, every step counts. The net proceeds of this year’s Greece Race for the Cure will be channeled into free programs to support and empower patients, improve their quality of life and care, and promote prevention and early diagnosis of the disease.

The Greece Race for the Cure is organized annually by the Hellenic Association of Women with Breast Cancer “Alma Zois”, in collaboration with the Organization for Culture, Sports, and Youth of the Municipality of Athens, and is endorsed by Think Pink Europe. It is the second-largest Race for the Cure event worldwide.
