The Breast Cancer Research Trust is conducting this trip to raise awareness and funds for ongoing breast cancer research in New Zealand. Join our circle of walkers and joggers to take on this incredible event and do your bit to gain knowledge and save lives. This is one of just a few events that stops the city to enable people to walk and jog over the Manhattan Bridge, through Times Square and finish in Central Park.
