Fitness & Fuel for the Fight Against Breast Cancer

It’s October and while that once meant shopping for Halloween costumes and prepping our wardrobe for cooler days, it now means that seeing pink ribbons, participating in 5K walks and donating to charities by buying rosy-colored products has become part of your seasonal routine.
Did you know that in 2015 alone, it is estimated that among U.S women there will be 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 40,290 breast cancer deaths. The purpose of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is to present the research and raise awareness among women across the nation about the warning signs and prevention measures that can be taken by getting a regular mammography screening. Most breast cancers in the U.S are found in the earlier stages, which means a wider spread of treatment options. While breast cancer is a consistent problem throughout all months of the year, October is centrally focused on raising money to support the cause. Funds raised go towards research and development for a cure. Times are changing and technology is becoming more advanced, which means that every dollar raised is a step towards saving a life.
220 Fitness will be hosting a Breast Cancer Boot Camp on Saturday, October 10th from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Everyone from locals to visitors are welcome to join us for an afternoon of fitness and fuel for the fight against breast cancer! Tickets are $10 presale and $15 at the door. Presale tickets can be purchased by visiting 220fitness.com. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to local charities fighting for the lives of our loved ones.
