The Weekend to End Breast Cancer benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation

60km that can change the world - July 25-27, 2008

“All over Alberta, The Weekend is helping breast cancer patients get the care they need to become breast cancer survivors. Money raised by a rapidly growing number of Walkers is funding advanced research that yields life-saving new treatments. Of course, a cure is the ultimate victory.
