Honorary Team New Balance was formed in January of 1995. Comprised of both men and women, the team was designed to celebrate the stories of cancer survival and to spread the word that there is fitness after cancer!
At every Race for the Cure, Komen affiliates nominate a cancer survivor from the area to join the Honorary Team NB. Check back weekly to see who has joined!
