As Indianapolis gets closer and closer toward the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, one driver is racing toward a cure.

Pippa Mann is at it again, competing in this year's Indy 500, and raising big bucks for Susan G. Komen.

This year, Mann is attempting to raise $100,000 for research, some of which will be spent right here in Indiana.

Right now, she's up to $58,000, and there's only a couple days to go before the race.

Just yesterday, Mann hosted breast cancer survivors at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

It was a chance for them to join in the pink movement of IndyCar racing, and to connect with each other.

Pippa's got another $40,000 to raise in just a matter of days.
