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.
