Breast Cancer Statistics
A woman will die from breast cancer every 13 minutes, & over 1 million women in the United States have died of this disease since 1970. Although every woman is at risk for breast cancer, the majority of breast cancer cases occur in women with no identifiable risk factors, & based on the current life expectancy for women in the United States, 1 out of 9 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.

You Can Help
Bring your friends, family and co-workers because we have a fun day planned! Do you want to encourage your kids to be active? Come join us! Want to spend a morning walking with friends? Come walk with us! How about raising money for a great local cause? Join us!

We've taken the best part of our half marathon route and created a gorgeous 5K route (that's 3.1 miles), so come join us and experience one of the most beautiful places in Seattle to walk or run! Our timed runs and walk offers participants a scenic tour of Alki Beach with breathtaking views of Puget Sound.

Help raise money and awareness by participating in or contributing to our annual 5k walk/run. Our goal is to keep expenses and overhead to a minimum, allowing the majority of funds raised to go directly to the women who need it. Each runner/walker is asked to gather pledges of $100 or more. The money raised will enable us to assist breast cancer patients through their journey with personalized support.
