Avon Breast Cancer Walk

This morning the commute was long and dreadful on my way to Bryant Park where the October 11, 2009 Avon Breast Cancer walk was hosted from 9:45am-12:00pm. However, seeing the motivated and devoted walkers fighting to find a cure for breast cancer made my trip worth the commute. Our group was assigned to a specific cheering station where walkers would pass by as we cheered them on. Many volunteers and walkers showed support for the fight against breast cancer not only by wearing pink but also by using loud noisemakers and decorative hats. We wanted the walkers to feel appreciated for what a great cause there fighting for and having the strength to walk miles and miles against breast cancer. We saw walkers both men and women, old and young united for one purpose. It was really inspiring and a great experience. I definitely recommend students to take part in their community and make a difference even if it’s as simple as cheering on walkers to show support. I look forward in participating in the Avon Breast Cancer Walk 2010 and become an active walker as well as a fundraiser. I’m glad that Jane Odartey who is our peer mentor told us about the Breast Cancer Walk  that benefits the community and promotes a great cause.
