The Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure that is taking place Saturday in Washington, D.C., has about one-third fewer participants than last year, according to reports.
Komen races around the country have seen similar declines following the national outcry over the organization’s now-reversed decision to stop giving funds to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings.
