Where to Cheer on 3-Day for the Cure Walkers

Thousands of men and women will come together to trek 60 miles through southeast Michigan this weekend for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.

Each walker has raised money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure to fund breast cancer research and community education, screening and treatment programs.

The walk begins in Novi on Friday morning and ends in Dearborn Sunday evening.

Friends and family are highly encouraged to attend the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as cheer on the walkers at designated cheering stations throughout the 60 miles.
