SUMMARY:The Walk Across Southeastern Connecticut - Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation
DESCRIPTION:TBBCF 11th Annual Walk having funded over $3.3M in breast cancer research\n\nRaising funds\, hopes and dreams for a breast cancer free tomorrow\n\n \n\nSince its 2006 founding and thirty-three $100\,000 breast cancer research grants later\, the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation (TBBCF) will be hosting its 11th Annual Walk Across Southeastern CT on October 1\, 2016.\n\n \n\nTBBCF is a local non-profit dedicated to providing critical funding to breast cancer research. Their pledge is the 100% of gross fundraising dollars goes directly to breast cancer research that is in the scientific pursuit of medicines and techniques that mitigate cancer treatment and promote disease eradication. Administrative costs are sponsor supported or volunteer provided. \n\n \n\nThe organization's name was chosen to honor the beautiful life and fighting spirit of Terri Brodeur\, a local Old Saybrook mother of three young children and victim of breast cancer. The Foundation was established by two friends\, Norma Logan and Sandy Maniscalco\, who realized the need for a new kind of fundraising organization. After a two-year battle with breast cancer\, Terri succumbed to the disease in 2005\, as did Norma one year later.\n\n \n\nIt is estimated that there will be more than 3\,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in CT in 2016 and that almost 500 will die from the disease. By walking in the 11th Walk Across Southeastern CT you will increase funding of breast cancer research with hopes for earlier detection\, better treatments and ultimately prevention of this disease!\n\n \n\nThe 11th Annual Walk has a marathon option to suit everyone's level of ability. Registration opens in June\, 2016. Walks include a 7 mile super quarter marathon\, a 13.1 mile half marathon and our signature 26.2 mile full marathon. The full marathon walk begins with 6:30 am opening ceremonies at Saybrook Point\, Old Saybrook\, with feet on the pavement at 7:00 am. This walk follows a scenic route along the shoreline through Old Saybrook\, Old Lyme\, East Lyme and Waterford. The half marathon walk starts at Capitol Drive\, East Lyme at 10:00 am and the super quarter marathon walk starts at the Niantic Baptist Church\, Niantic at 1:00 pm. All walks end at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center\, Waterford with closing ceremonies.\n\n \n\nThe Walk goal is to raise funds for research through walker fundraising commitments. Youth walkers must raise $100 to walk any marathon option. Adult walkers must raise $200 for a super quarter marathon\, $250 for a half marathon and $500 for a full marathon.\n\n \n\nTeam-up with friends\, family or co-workers! Team-up to walk in honor or memory of someone special! Enjoy the benefits of working as a team to meet the fundraising commitment. There are Youth Walk Team options for 12-18 year olds. Gather 5 or more youth with a Youth Walk Coach and the Coach only pays registration with no fundraising requirement. Walkers are provided with training and fundraising support. \n\n \n\nFunding has assisted researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute\, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center\, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\, Yale Cancer Center\, the Roswell Park Cancer Institute\, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine\, and NYU School of Medicine.
