Only two weeks...

It's just around the corner! It’s only two weeks until we walk 60 miles for a cure for breast cancer. Thanks to all of you, our team has raised over $28,000 and still going! Can you believe that?!?! Here is some info for those of you that may want to join us long the way. There is an opening ceremony on Friday morning, cheering stations along the way, and a closing ceremony on Sunday night.

You can also send mail to us the 3-Day Camp and they will get them to us. Send letters to:

  • Breast Cancer 3-Day Camp Post Office

Envelopes only, please. No boxes or large packages. Mail must be postmarked no later than August 11th in order to ensure delivery at the Breast Cancer 3-Day Camp Post Office.

Friday, Aug. 21: Approximately 20 miles
The Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-Day will begin with an emotional Opening Ceremony at Southdale Shopping Center in Edina, where we’ll gather together to pay tribute to the many women and men who have lost their battle with breast cancer, and honor the survivors. We’ll remember the reason we’re walking as we make our way through the picturesque Edina neighborhoods, then stroll around the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, Sculpture Garden and the University of Minnesota. We’ll finish the day viewing the beautiful homes along Summit Avenue before heading to camp for the night.
