Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-Day
The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk for women and men who want to make a personal difference in the fight against breast cancer. Breast Cancer 3-Day participants commit to fundraising, training and dedicating an entire weekend to the cause. Participants walk an average of 20 miles a day during each Breast Cancer 3-Day event raising awareness for breast cancer. Participants are provided meals, snacks, liquids, mobile showers, safety guidelines, 24-hour medical support – all resources walkers need for a safe and memorable experience.
The Breast Cancer 3-Day is an opportunity to educate tens of thousands of people about breast health, including the importance of early detection. Participants spend months training and raising the required $2,200 fundraising minimum in preparation for the event. Online support and coaches are provided when each participant registers to ensure a safe and memorable experience from start to finish.
Proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Day are used for breast cancer research and community outreach programs. As the primary beneficiary of the Breast Cancer 3-Day, Susan G. Komen for the Cure receives 85 percent of net proceeds and the remaining 15 percent goes to the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
The Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-Day will take place throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area from Friday, September 19th through Sunday, September 21st.
