Tomorrow and Sunday (October 4 and 5), the Women's Cancer Resource Center will be hosting a Swim a Mile for Cancer event at Mills College from 10 am to 4 pm.
Why swim a mile for women with cancer? In 2008, an estimated 14,965 people who live in the San Francisco Bay Area will be diagnosed with cancer. Nearly one out of every two Californians born today will develop cancer at some point in their lives, and it is likely that one will die from the disease.
Join an estimated 500 men, women and children who will swim at the WCRC's Swim a Mile for Women with Cancer at Mills College. Register to swim!
Anybody can swim and any distance can be swum, from 1 lap to 36 laps (1 mile). We'll be cheering you on! And if you're not a swimmer, you can water walk.
All swimmers are asked to raise $250 in pledges.
Swimmers, cheerleaders, friends and family are welcome to attend! There will be music and organic and healthy food at the event. And be sure to check out the WCRC booth to test your cancer knowledge and purchase a Swim-a-Mile t-shirt or hat.
