Mark you calendars for Sunday, September 27. This is when you and your family and friends can hike for fun and good exercise while helping to raise funds for breast cancer.
Organized by The Breast Cancer Fund, the annual Peak Hike involves hiking on beautiful Mt. Tam, at whatever pace you wish, while raising funds for breast cancer research. I had the pleasure of hiking with all 3 of my daughters, bringing us together to celebrate our family. Those visits are now few and far between.
As a victim of breast cancer, I know its impact on the individual and those around us who care. My daughters and I had the opportunity, during our hike, to discuss my cancer candidly. While there is nothing definitive about why I contracted breast cancer; without a family history, it is very likely that the causes were environmental, at least to to some extent. The Breast Cancer Fund actively explores these issues.
Enjoy your health and our beautiful surroundings and go take a hike, the Peak Hike with the Breast Cancer Fund.
