Why We Walk

Breast Cancer Facts:
One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Breast cancer knows no boundaries be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location.

The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older.

Early detection and effective treatment for breast cancer have been shown to improve survival.

Making healthy lifestyle choices may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today.

Breast cancer affects more than just the patient co-survivors (friends, family and co-workers) need support, too.

These are a few reasons why we walk.

  1. Your blog is really well done. I wish I would have been keeping up throughout the year! Good luck next weekend. I know you'll all do a great job and Sarah and the thousands of others who are fighting this disease will have renewed determination and hope because of the generosity of those who contribute to the cause! Go Hula Hooters!
