Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure is a National Philanthropic Trust Project to find a cure for breast cancer. The 3-Day for the cure route cover approximately 15-22 miles each day for three days in a row, totalling approximately 60 miles. All walkers must agree to raise a minimum of $2,300 for the 3-Day for the Cure in order to walk. You can organize teams and raise money and train for the walk together. This organization provides coaches to assist you every step of the journey, helping you challenge yourself and succeed. It is not only good exercise but its for a good cause. They also proved food and beverages to keep you going, as well as rest areas, safety guidelines and medical support. Every night they give you a two person tent to sleep in as well as hot meals.
Reading this you might think that this is either too difficult or too long, but all of this isn't for nothing. "The net proceeds fund breast cancer research, education, and community outreach programs. Since it inception, more than $400 million has been raised." Breast cancer is responsible for a countless number of deaths among both women and men.
There is an upcoming walk here in Philadelphia from October 15-17. If you don't want to walk you can donate your money or support. To learn all the details or donate to the cause the official website is http://the3day.org/site/PageServer?PageServer?pagename=homepage
