Experience the climb of your life!

Climb Against the Odds~Mt. Shasta, the Breast Cancer Fund's seventh major mountaineering expedition, will take place July 7-13, 2006. This journey will be both a collective effort to prevent breast cancer and a personal challenge to beat the disease.

At 14,162 feet, Mt. Shasta stands as the most striking mountain in Northern California and is home to California's largest glaciers. Women with long skirts and adventurous spirits climbed its lofty peaks early on. The Breast Cancer Fund once again returns to Mt. Shasta to challenge her mystical slopes.

As many as 50 percent of breast cancer cases remain unexplained by personal characteristics and other traditionally-accepted risk factors; epidemiologists and other scientists increasingly believe many cases are linked to environmental factors.
