Footwear companies have found strong support from the running community for supporting programs that support cancer awareness, and the program between ASICS America and Christina Applegate is a fine example of such support. 

ASICS American continues to expand their awareness programs, in September, October and November, with programs that bring awareness to childhood cancers, breast cancer and prostate cancer.
