Participants celebrate during the closing ceremony.

The Breast Cancer 3-Day recognizes the importance of including people with disabilities in the fight against breast cancer by providing accessible accommodations, selecting an accessible route, providing training adaptations and educating volunteers and crew about disability awareness and inclusion. Inclusion is the acceptance of ALL people, regardless of their differences or abilities, because each individual has something important to contribute to society. The All Abilities Team proves this, and through inclusive opportunities, people with disabilities can be healthy and fit, and live active lifestyles.
