Susan G. Komen’s Global Ambassador Actress Gabrielle Union (“Think Like a Man”) led a dedicated crowd on a run starting just below the Washington Monument.
Union, who lost a close friend at the age of 36 to Stage Four breast cancer, has been a longtime partner with Komen in the fight against breast cancer.
