Rise Above Cancer at Badger Mountain
October 10, 2015 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Northwest Cancer Clinic, along with Community First Bank, MIX 105.3/KONA AM and Focus on Cancer, is inviting Tri-City community members to gather at Badger Mountain to honor Breast Cancer patients, survivors and loved ones who have been
involved in fighting this overwhelming disease. Rising Above Cancer Participants will meet at Trailhead Park*
Balloons will be available for $5 for those who would like to participate to “Rise Above Cancer” for a cure. Proceeds will go to the non-profit Focus on Cancer for free mammograms. Focus on Cancer provides a daily oncology news blog that explores medical journals, oncology research institution news, FDA updates, and clinical trial results on a daily basis. They also work to provide recreational activities for cancer patients and survivors, consisting of ski days with lessons, guided fishing trips, etc.
Participants are encouraged to bring their families to celebrate at Badger Mountain with balloons in hand to “Rise Above” in a journey up the mountain to support Breast Cancer Awareness. There will be a ceremony at the base of the mountain before the hike along with other fun events for those who are unable to make the journey. The first 150 participants receive a free Rising Above Cancer T-shirt. A brief ceremony to honor patients, survivors and families will occur at the top.
