3-day breast cancer walk finishes in Dearborn

DEARBORN, Mich. – Hundreds of men and women walked 60 miles over three days to help in the fight against breast cancer.

The Susan G. Komen 3-day walk kicked off Friday.

The closing ceremony took place Sunday at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn.

Participants raise a minimum of $2,300 and walk an average of 20 miles a day for three consecutive days, educating tens of thousands of people about breast health with every step. Seventy-five percent of the net proceeds raised by Komen 3-Day help support national research and large public health outreach programs. The remaining 25 percent supports local community and affiliate outreach programs.
