Approximately 40 runners gathered for a pink “Race for the Cure” 5K to raise awareness about breast cancer and to honor loved ones who have had cancer. The race, organized by BYU–Hawaii students, was held on October 27 at the Hukilau Beach Park and the Kahuku bike and pedestrian path. The route was lined with pink ribbons, and there were also pink shirts and wristbands available for purchase – the proceeds of which went directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, an organization that is a leading advocate in breast cancer awareness, prevention and treatment.
