Hereditary cancer – do you want to know?
After being involved with breast cancer awareness for many years, I made the decision to go in for hereditary cancer screening at Hoag. It took me several months to finally decide that I wanted to know. My mom’s breast cancer did not have the markers of hereditary cancer, but since my paternal grandma died from […]
Calling all Melon Men!
For those of you who have ever taken part in the spectacle that is the Susan G. Komen San Diego 3 Day, you know that no walk would be complete without the dedicated walker-stalkers, The Melon Men.

High fiber, healthy melons?
High fiber ain’t just for all us old people! Young women with a high fiber diet have a lower incidence of breast cancer. I know many of us struggle to figure out what constitutes a healthy diet.

Surviving Cancer and a 60 Mile Walk

The Pink Bra (Maglia Rosa)
In 2015, The Boob Ride added the Pink Bra, aka the Maglia Rosa. This newly and highly coveted award is for women only (sorry fellas)! This award is given to the Best Woman overall on the D-Cup route. While purely a popularity contest, the Maglia Rosa is still quite the award. Our first winner was Kim […]
The Yellow Bra
The most coveted award in all of cycling is the yellow jersey in the Tour de France. Well, it was until The Boob Ride started awarding the Yellow Bra. This sexy thing is awarded to the person that appears to have arrived first on the D-cup 90 mile route. While The Boob Ride is not […]
