RUN TO END THE 41

We’re running 41 miles to #endthe41percent. Shift the needle. Improve outcomes. Save Black women’s lives. Join us.

The Facts

Black women have a 41% higher breast cancer mortality rate than White women – the highest of any U.S. racial or ethnic group.

This statistic hasn’t moved in more than 20 years. Carrie’s TOUCH is committed to changing this. We need your help.

The Challenge.

The Carrie’s TOUCH Board of Directors is hitting the track, dog park, mall and more in a nationwide online challenge to raise funds and awareness about the 41% mortality disparity.

Starting Oct. 1 thru Nov. 28, we will walk or run a total of 41 miles. We’re inviting runners and walkers across the nation to join us! Together, let’s raise $41K to support women battling breast cancer and spread the word in an effort to change the narrative.

Registration is simple and only $41.
