”You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along… You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” —Eleanor Roosevelt

Despite the tremendous advances in the medical and scientific fields, sometimes the best therapy is the knowledge that we are not alone in this fight - together we can make a difference. The Komen NC Triangle Affiliate honors survivors throughout the year. Please take a look at the links below and join our growing network of survivors and co-survivors.

Survivors at the Race

The Komen NC Triangle Race for the Cure® is so much more than a fundraiser. Each year, almost 1000 North Carolina women and men celebrate another year of survivorship. Breast cancer survivors are greeted with food, special shirts and hats, and hundreds of open arms at the Survivor Pavilion. More information »

Each October, the NC Triangle Affiliate’s PinkFest observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month by celebrating survivorship with hundreds of women, their friends and families.
