Over the course of two days, April 30-May 1, six empowered women will walk 39 miles together to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. These women, part of the team Hikin' 4 Hooters, have been active in the fight against breast cancer for many years. Between numerous distance walks, such as the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and the Susan G. Komen 3-day for the Cure, they have raised thousands upon thousands of dollars for breast cancer.
