Against the Tide - Towards Breast Cancer Prevention!

The statewide Against the Tide is a family-friendly fundraising event to benefit Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC).  MBCC works to reduce toxic chemicals in the environment, which research shows are linked to the dramatic rise in the incidence of breast cancer.  Against the Tide will take place at DCR’s Hopkinton State Park on Saturday June 22.  It consists of several different activities: a competitive and recreational 1-mile swim, 2-mile kayak, 3-mile walk, 5K run, and 10K run.


The event starts at 7:00am and ends at 12:00 noon. Please visit www.mbcc.org/swim or call 800-649-MBCC for more information and to register.
