Why Against the Tide?
Against the Tide is a statewide, annual fundraising event to benefit the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition and its goal towards breast cancer prevention.
Since its founding in 1991, Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition has been the ONLY national, or statewide organization to focus on primary breast cancer prevention. We see prevention as a cure!
Against the Tide consists of a one-mile competitive or recreational swim, two-mile kayak, or a three-mile fitness walk. It is a wonderful event to bring individuals of all ages and experiences together with a single cause- for prevention and eradication of the breast cancer epidemic.
Against the Tide will be held at Hopkinton State Park, Hopkinton, MA on June 20th, and again at Nickerson State Park, Brewster, MA on August 15th.

Participant Stories
"Live more, laugh more, love more". These were Jayne's words to me when she learned her breast cancer had metastasized. Service to others and an unwavering faith in God - this is Jayne's legacy. Her words and her life inspire me. I will walk so that someone else won't have to lose their Jayne." - Kady, Arlington
