Susan G. Komen San Diego Race for the Cure: The Walk to End Breast Cancer - In San Diego, six women a day are diagnosed with breast cancer and unfortunately one woman a day passes away from this disease. Early detection and effective treatment provide the best chance of survival from breast cancer. And that’s what our work at Susan G. Komen San Diego is all about. When you walk, you make it possible for Komen San Diego to provide free mammograms, biopsies, ultrasounds, care coordination, education and financial assistance for breast cancer patients’ most critical needs during treatment. We Live Here. We Walk Here. We Save Lives Here. The walk start, finish and the pre- and post-event activities take place on the west side of Balboa Park. The start line is on 6th Avenue and Palm, the finish line is on Balboa Drive south of Quince. The pre- and post-event activities take place on the grassy area along 6th Avenue between Laurel and Quince.
