"Thousands of women and men will unite in cities across the country and walk 60 miles over the course of three days. It's a weekend of hope, as we honor lives lost, celebrate survivors, promote breast cancer research, and help bring breast cancer care to those who so desperately need it.
Net proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Days benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to fund breast cancer research and community outreach, as well as the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund, to provide an endowment for breast cancer initiatives." from the 3 Day Website
In 2004, while at work, I witnessed a sight that changed my life. I was asked to hand out popsicles to walkers who were coming by our worksite. At first, only a few walkers came by, but then the main body of walkers approached. It was an amazing sight to behold. Thousands of people of all ages, races, creeds, colors and sexes, united for one cause. That cause was to raise funds for breast cancer research. I knew that I had to be a part of this.
I'll be listing links and other information about the 3 Day here, and hope that someone will find it useful!
