El Camino trekkers walk the talk for fundraising
In May, 18 women and two men walked more than 100km from Sarria to Santiago, Spain, raising over $90,000 for BCFNZ.
Blisters, sore bodies and fluctuating emotions were part of the journey. Each person took around 170,000 steps and raised an average of $4,500.
“This is an enormous accomplishment. We are incredibly grateful to our El Camino trekkers for their huge effort and commitment to helping make zero deaths from breast cancer a reality!”
- BCFNZ Chief Executive, Evangelia Henderson.
One of the walkers, Rachel Jewell-Hunter, said: “It made me believe that I can do any physical challenge – and that one day there will be a cure.”
