St. Louis, MO – More than 60,000 people are expected to run through downtown St. Louis Saturday in the Komen Race for the Cure.

The event last year raised more than $2 million for breast cancer treatment and research.

Missouri's Secretary of State Robin Carnahan will be among the runners. She's one of the highest-profile Missourians to have been diagnosed with breast cancer during the past year.

Carnahan told KWMUs Tom Weber that she has a few more chemotherapy treatments left, but says overall she feels good.
