The Amgen Tour of California launches on Sunday, February 18!

Welcome to The Total Cancer Wellness Blog - a new Wellness Community blog designed to provide you with regular updates, commentary and opinions on our own activities and on developments in the cancer and health care worlds. Today at The Wellness Community we are gearing up for the launch of The Amgen Tour of California on Sunday, February 18 in San Francisco. The Tour, a professional cycling race, will travel through 12 host cities in California before concluding in Long Beach on Sunday, February 25, 2007. We are excited to be teaming up with all of our Wellness Communties in California and with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship as we travel down the state.

Perhaps one of the most exciting developments for the 2007 Breakaway from Cancer initiative is the addition of campaign spokesperson and Grey's Anatomy star, Patrick Dempsey (Dr. McDreamy!), who is helping to raise awareness and funds for cancer patients and their caregivers. The Breakaway initiative, sponsored by Amgen, will generously benefit all 21 of our of our Wellness Communities across the US, and our five centers in development. Come back and visit our blog soon - we will be posting updates from the road in California starting Sunday, February 18!
