Walk for the Cure

Pink_ribbons1_4What better way to show your support for a cure for breast cancer than by participating in the Avon Walk for the Cure.  Walk with a friend, a family member, in memory of a loved one, for all women, with a survivor, with your daughters, sons and husbands, with your mothers, neighbors, or by yourself.  Just get out there and show your support   Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women of all races, religions, and nationality.  Breast Cancer does not discriminate. Join a united force in fighting Breast Cancer.

Did you know that according to breastcancer.org:

  • Every two minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2005, it is estimated that about 212,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed, along with 58,000 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer. And 40,000 women are expected to die from this disease.i
  • Breast cancer is the leading cancer among white and African American women. African American women are more likely to die from this disease.
  • Breast cancer incidence in women has increased from one in 20 in 1960 to one in eight today.

Join together to eradicate this disease.  Walks are held at different locations throughout the year in support of a cure.  Please show your support, Walk for a Cure.
