Is there snow on the ground? If the answer to that question is no, then there is probably a run/walk to participate in somewhere in the Wausau area! Recently, the run/walk of choice was one of the best known, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
As one of the biggest run/walks in the area for a great cause, it is no surprise that Globe University-Wausau students and staff could be found among the crowd.

Nicole Endler, administrative assistant, could be found among the racers. “I chose to run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K because breast cancer has touched my life. Shortly before I moved to Wisconsin, I found out that my friend had been diagnosed,” Nicole related. “The mission statement of the Susan G. Komen organization is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering others, ensuring quality of care for all and investing in science to find the cures. I felt a sense of community in that statement as I lined up amongst a sea of pink.”
