The Weekend to End Breast Cancer
The Weekend to End Breast Cancer, in support of the BC Cancer Foundation, is your chance to be a hero. During one amazing weekend, August 14-16, 2009, thousands of women and men are joining forces in Vancouver to walk 60 kilometers in a bold display of courage and commitment. It’s a weekend of hope, as we honour lives lost, celebrate survivors, and help bring breast cancer care to those who so desperately need it. One in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and the time is now to do something about it! Visit the Weekend to End Breast Cancer website at endcancer.ca.
