BE A VOLUNTEER
There are many instances when a breast cancer survivor or someone closely associated
with a survivor would like to get involved to support the cause. Even if you are not able
to be a cyclist, there are several methods by which you can contribute to the success of
this cross-country event. Volunteers are needed to help coordinate and staff events in
each of the destination cities on the route. Events may be as varied as raffles, celebrity
