From the Amgen website:
"Founded in 2005 by Amgen, Breakaway from Cancer® is a national initiative to increase awareness of important resources available to people affected by cancer – from prevention to survivorship. Breakaway from Cancer is a collaboration between Amgen and four nonprofit organizations: Prevent Cancer Foundation, Cancer Support Community, Patient Advocate Foundation and National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. These organizations offer a broad range of support services complementing those provided by a patient’s team of healthcare professionals."
The question to ask is how much of the $$ raised by the race goes to administration of the race and how much to actually funding research, prevention, patient services. Cities and counties that host the race get nothing directly from Amgen, just "free" (not really!) publicity.
Thanks, Suzi.
