Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Held in DC

Today marks the completion of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer held in Washington, DC over the weekend. 39 miles in 2 days is the goal, with teams doing fundraising to raise money for research.

According to their website, the participants will “walk up to 26.2 miles on Saturday, and 13.1 miles on Sunday—all so that medically-underserved women and men can get the medical care they need and leading research teams can receive vital support for their ongoing search for a cure. The Avon Foundation places a priority on returning funds to the geographic area in which each Avon Walk takes place with a special emphasis on reaching low-income, elderly and minority individuals and those with inadequate health insurance.”
