AVON WALK FOR BREAST CANCER

Oneweekend, a world of good.

The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer has been designed to allow people of all
fitness levels to have a safe, challenging and rewarding experience.

The Avon Walks will begin and end at the same location, which will be
convenient to the city center with plenty of parking and/or good access to
public transportation. After a rousing and emotional send-off, you and your
fellow Walkers will hit the trail.

Distance - How far you go is up to you

The Avon Walk is a marathon walk (or a marathon and a half!) over two
days. The total distance is your choice. Your goal is to walk at least the
distance of a marathon (26.2 miles). You can spread it out over both days,
or you can choose to walk a full marathon on Saturday, and then add an
extra half-marathon (13.1 miles) on Sunday. It's your choice, and you can
make up your mind (and change it) right on the spot.

Support at every step

All along the route, you'll find regular stops for water, food and snacks. We'll
also have medical aid stations to take care of anything from muscle cramps
and sore knees to blisters. There'll be someone to carry all your gear, and
we'll even transport you if need be.

You can also expect lots of encouragement from well wishers along the
way. Your participation in the Avon Walk really does benefit everyone, so
don't be surprised at the gratitude you'll get in return.

Welcome to the Wellness Village

Whether you arrive by bus or on foot, your destination on Saturday is truly a
remarkable place.

The Wellness Village will be your home away from home for the evening.
There'll be plenty of great food. Hot showers and a sea of two-person tents
(we'll provide the tents). There will be massages, entertainment and special
guest speakers to provide inspiration. And of course, there'll be important
information about breast cancer and what we all can do to protect ourselves
and our loved ones from this disease, and an opportunity to hear from and
interact with the organizations and people directly benefiting from your
efforts.

Make it a Family Affair

The Wellness Village is a special experience, and it's one we invite you to
share with your friends and family.

Invite them to visit you in the Village, and introduce them to some of the
amazing people you've met during your journey. And let them help you
celebrate what you've accomplished.

A visit from your guests and loved ones not only makes the experience more
memorable for you, it also helps share our message and our cause with
more people who will remember it long after the event is over.
