It’s that time of year, time to DO SOMETHING ABOUT BREAST CANCER – sign up for the 7th Annual Bustin’ Loose Race to End Breast Cancer which will be held September 30, 2012. This is a 3km, 5km & 10km run/walk event in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (Prairies/NWT Chapter).
Over the past six years, the race has surpassed our dreams and has raised more than $396,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (Prairies/NWT Chapter). The race provides an opportunity to raise awareness of this devastating disease, offer support to those who are fighting the battle against breast cancer, and strength to those who have lost loved ones.
You can be part of the excitement this year, helping to reach our fundraising goal of $105,000 which will mean over the last 7 years the race has raised more than $500,000 for the CBCF!

It’s that time of year, time to DO SOMETHING ABOUT BREAST CANCER – sign up for the 6th Annual Bustin’ Loose Race to End Breast Cancer which will be held October 2, 2011. This is a 3km, 5km & 10km run/walk event in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (prairies/nwt chapter).
Bustin’ Loose began in 2006 with a small committee speculating on whether we could attract 100 participants willing to pay $25 each, enabling the event to donate $2,500 to the cause. Boy, did we under estimate the generosity and enthusiasm of Medicine Hat and area. In the five years this event has been held, we have raised more than a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation who is working to create a future without breast cancer – funding some of the most relevant breast cancer research programs in the country.
