Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Comes to Sausalito July 11
When: Event runs July 11-12, 2009; Sausalito leg is July 11
Opening ceremony: 6:30 AM July 11, Speedway Meadow, Golden Gate Park
July 11 End of Day Event: 12:00 Noon - 7:00 PM, Crissy Field, San Francisco
Joining in Sausalito: Organizers believe the walkers will start to reach Sausalito's residential neighborhoods about 8:00 AM. The route doubles back through Sausalito to return to San Francisco, so you can join going either direction. See below for more details.
Event Webite is here, and detailed route information is here.
The walk begins in Golden Gate Park early in the morning and winds across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, then up to Mill Valley before returning through Sausalito to re-cross the Bridge and end the day at Crissy Field in San Francisco. As children of breast cancer survivors who have lost friends and family to the disease, we believe that the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is a major event. There are three ways you can get involved: walk, pledge financial support for a walker, or come out and cheer for the walkers when they go through Sausalito on July 11.
