The signature event of the Breakaway from Cancer initiative is the Amgen Tour of California, an 8 day cycling event that travels down the coast of California. The 2012 tour will take place on May 13th - 20th, 2012, kicking off in Santa Rosa and ending in Los Angeles. As part of this year's tour, four Breakaway from Cancer non-profit partners, including CSC, will travel to 16 cities, walk with hundreds of cancer survivors and caregivers as part of five Breakaway Mile marches, and distribute valuable resources, information and giveaways at the Breakaway from Cancer booth. Our mission is to empower and support cancer survivors, their families and caregivers. To learn more about Breakaway from Cancer, visit www.BreakawayfromCancer.com.
