Thank you for taking part in our 25th annual Peak Hike for Prevention! We loved seeing all 377 of our dedicated hikers from 39 states across the country come together in the name of prevention. Your participation inspires each of us at BCPP to continue moving our mission forward. Thanks to you, we blew past our goal of $150K, beat our stretch goal of $160K, and raised a total of $170K all for breast cancer prevention!!
We interviewed Cynthia Curchwell, 5 times New England Peaks for Prevention Hiker who has collectively raised over $15,000 for breast cancer prevention about her motivations for hiking and fundraising to eliminate the causes of breast cancer.
For me, that climb was the ultimate evidence of the quote, “while I had cancer, it didn’t have me.” I was 53, had never seen a 14,179 foot mountain, never mind climb one and yet in June of 2009, four years after my initial diagnosis, I stood on the summit of Mount Shasta in northern California and soaked in the glorious moments of pure joy, of pure living.
