    Hartford, Conn. (WTNH) - Thousands of people will lace up their sneakers to help fight breast cancer this weekend in Bushnell Park in Hartford.

    The 2010 Komen Connecticut Race for the cure is set for Saturday. The event benefits The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation .

    More than 10,000 people including 500 Breast Cancer survivors have signed up to run, walk, pledge or volunteered to take part. "The money that we raise through race for the cure, 75 percent of it is invested right here in Connecticut," said Anne Morris the Executive Director of the Komen Foundation of the CT Chapter. "Just last month we invested a $1 million in breast cancer education, screenings and treatment."

    Over the last 17 years, the annual event has raised more than $20 million to fight breast cancer in Connecticut.
