"Speak Out" is an expression of opinion from the Editorial Board of WBTV, and is presented by General Manager, Nick Simonette.
On Saturday, October 1st, thousands will come together in uptown Charlotte for a great cause…The Komen Charlotte Race For the Cure.
Their goal…to help end breast cancer forever, and to provide resources for those facing this disease.
WBTV is a proud sponsor of Charlotte's Race For the Cure, and we hope you will consider taking part in this year's race.
It's an inspiring, uplifting event that celebrates survivors and unites us all in the fight against breast cancer.
75% of the money raised for Charlotte's Race for the Cure stays right here in our area.
It helps pay for early detection and life-saving treatments for those who need help…mostly the uninsured and under-insured.
The other 25% is to fund research to find a cure.
Now that's a cause we all need to get behind.
One in eight women will face breast cancer in their lifetime.
One in eight.
And it also affects men.
Together we can do something about it.
Together we can save lives.
