Our Providence Hood & Portland To Coast Relays walking team “Heart to Coast” started their trek from Portland to Seaside in the wee hours of the morning today. Our caravan of 12 walkers and 2 drivers will spend the next two days logging 130 miles to raise awareness (and funds) for cancer research.

This team is made possible by some of our adventurous participants from Heart to Start - Season 10 and join us from Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.

Let’s wish them well and celebrate their amazing hearts!

A great way to start the day, with the 13-mile family ride that's under way!

And ... they're off! Cyclists start the main ride.
