2005 AVON BREAST CANCER 3-DAY
The Avon Breast Cancer 3-Days are revolutionary fundraising
events in which more than 3,000 people walk approximately
60 miles over three days to raise money and awareness for
the fight against breast cancer. Monies raised fund breast
cancer programs and organizations nationwide in the areas
of medical research; financial assistance and support services
for breast cancer survivors, patients and their families;
educational seminars; and early detection services.
Walkers
participating in the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Days are challenged
both mentally and physically, but the 3-Day is not solely
for athletes. Women and men of all ages and physical fitness
levels take part, and participants travel at their own pace,
walking an average of 20 miles a day
for three days. Every step of the way, an army of 500 volunteer
crew supports the walkers with catered hot meals, gear transport,
water and snack stops, hot showers, and comprehensive medical
services. Each evening, walkers enjoy camaraderie, entertainment
and sleep under the
stars in supplied tents in the 3-Day's dramatic "Mobile
City."
