Join the Tell Cancer To Go Take A Hike October Movement
What is Tell Cancer To Go Take A Hike?
Tell Cancer To Go Take A Hike is SurvivingBreastCancer.org's nationwide
October fundraising movement.
Throughout the month, people across the country choose a hike or walk that's meaningful to them. Some explore mountain trails. Others stroll through their neighborhoods, gather coworkers after work, or organize community hikes with friends and family. Many join our flagship hike in Concord, Massachusetts.
However you choose to participate, every mile helps fund free education, patient navigation, wellness programs, trusted resources, and financial assistance for people impacted by breast cancer.
Your hike. Your community. Your impact.

The Story Behind the Hike
When Laura was going through early-stage breast cancer treatment at the age of 34, her husband William would bundle her up each day and they would go for a walk. Sometimes that walk would be a mile, some days, after all of the steroid injections, it would be 5 miles. On other days, it would be to the end of the block, to the stop sign, the next red light, or even just down the steps of their condo building to only turn back around and go inside.
William knew that movement was essential for the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of his wife.
Tell Cancer To Take a Hike is a celebration of life, of honoring those we have lost to this horrendous disease, and for moving our bodies in recognition of what we can do.
At SurvivingBreastCancer.org (SBC) we are Stronger Together!
