On Friday Oct 12th, I am hiking the “Cactus to Clouds” hike in Palm Springs. Here is a description from another hiker: “This, in my opinion is the hardest hike in Southern California. It has even made it on to Backpacker Magazine’s list of America’s hardest day hikes!”
You start in Palm Springs at an altitude of about 450 ft., which is virtually at sea level, and ascend to the summit more than two vertical miles at over 10,800 ft. in a matter of about 15 miles. En route, you pass the Palm Spring Aerial Tramway’s Mountain Station at about 8,500 ft.

5 REASONS…
1. Cancer is an ever-increasing EPIDEMIC (Despite billions of dollars raised).
2. Screening is not PREVENTION.
3. “The cure” = better understanding, treatment and elimination of the CAUSES of cancer.
4. Nonprofits working to better understand, treat and eliminate the CAUSES of cancer are UNDERFUNDED.
