These women are dedicated to helping eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease. They formed this group (High Desert Hooters), to help fight this disease by raising money and awareness to help find a cure for breast cancer. For some of these women, this will the the fourth annual walk and they say they will continue this grueling yet life changing event each year until a cure if found.

What is The Breast Cancer 3-Day?

The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a walk that raises money for Breast Cancer Research. Each individual who participates must raise $2,200 and will complete a 60 mile walk over the course of three days.
