More than 10,000 people—and more than 300 teams—have registered for the 2006 Komen Florida Suncoast Race for the Cure. The fundraising extravaganza Saturday at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg will benefit breast cancer research initiatives, with 75 percent of the money raised staying in the Tampa Bay area and the rest going to The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

One inspirational young woman is running the 5K “for all the women who came before me, for the ones who are beside me, and so that no woman should ever come after me.”

That would be Terri A. Johnson, 30, a breast cancer survivor.

Her goal is to raise $2,000. She needs $196 more.

You can make a difference.

If you’d like to donate to the cause and help Terri help find a cure for breast cancer, visit her Web site.
