This is a copy of the Young Survival Coalition’s recent newsletter. I received a nice shout out in it! Woo hoo for the Tour de Pink raising 140,000$ in it’s first year!
Atlanta’s Tour de Pink Results and Highlights
Over 300 cyclists came out on October 17th, to pedal for young women with breast cancer. The Inaugural Tour de Pink Atlanta, challenged riders to brave cold winds on 4, 18, 62 and 100 mile routes.
Cyclists were led by the Mayor of Dunwoody, Ken Wright, along with his wife and kid (on the family route). Earlier in the month, Mayor Wright declared it Tour de Pink Atlanta Day for the city of Dunwoody. Miss Georgia, Emily Cook, was also on hand to help raise awareness for breast cancer in young women. Despite the weather, Tour de Pink Atlanta raised over $140,000 for metro area programs for young women with breast cancer. Check out event photos online!
The event would not have been possible without the generous support of our lead sponsors: Bright Starts and Amoena. Bright Starts provided a team of over 70 riders to raise funds and awareness for young women and breast cancer. Amoena is a proud partner of YSC (local and national) sponsoring the upcoming Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer.
