Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

At the annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer locals spent the weekend trekking almost 40 miles, from Golden Gate Park to Mill Valley and back and then around San Francisco, all to raise funds to fight the disease. Together more than 2,400 participants raised over $5.6 million, part of which has already been granted to local nonprofits Zero Breast Cancer and the Marin County Department of Health. Tiburon's own Heather Cooper was the top sixth individual fundraiser for the entire walk, while Team Moxi, made up of Marin locals (and Cooper), was also the top sixth team fundraiser, with over $50,000 in donations.
