EVENTS - A Sister's Hope for Breast Cancer Research

Address: Struikheiweg 16
City: Bussum - Amsterdam
State/Province: North Holland
Country: The Netherlands

Route
The route of 2012 travels along the bike and foot paths from Bussum to Amsterdam and is a beautiful route!

A Sister\\\'s Hope 60K is a two-day walk Oct. 6&7, 2012. The trail is suitable for all types of walkers, including Nordic walkers.

Challenges
This is a challenging event in two ways: 1) training for and completing 60km 2) raising a minimum of €1500.

# 60km: We hike 30km per day. This is a distance that requires training; you do not want to attempt 30km per day without training for it.

# €1500: €1500 sounds like a lot because it is, and that is how we can do something big about breast cancer. Research is expensive and funding is desperately needed. Volunteers/crew members also are encouraged to raise funds, though it is not mandatory.

# €50 fee: This fee covers some of the costs of the event, including your A Sister\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Hope registration t-shirt and closing ceremony shirt, our support during the year in helping you reach the training and fund raising challenges, and everything you need during the 60K Walk Weekend.

Volunteers/crew members also pay €50 registration fee.

One in eight women will face breast cancer in their lifetime. In every 200 breast cancer diagnoses, one is a man.

Researchers each year grow closer to curing breast cancer, yet it still is too late for some. Research requires funding. That\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s where A Sister\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Hope steps in to help.
