I am interested in any male breast cancer group or organization that I may promote during breast cancer awareness month.
The name of Breast cancer for men walk held at Rhode Island was named as – "FLAMES OF HOPE" and it was arranged by Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation -
I just did the breast cancer walk and I was wondering if anyone knew of any general cancer walks that I could do with my mom next year to celebrate her beating cervical cancer. I would also like to host a 5 yr remission party for her. any ideas?
CONGRATS!! I would look on the american cancer society page, www.acs.com. They have listings for upcoming events and will have a place to look and see what is coming to your area or close to it. If not, then you can find your local area acs site. You can also go thru acs to find out how to sponser your own event. This gives you info on the details needed to do so.
A remission party is a wonderful idea. But keep it upbeat! You may also want to consider making this a fund raiser for the fight against cancer, it brings out the community, and makes them part of it, your mom is a survivor, and this is a blessed thing! If you want it to be family and friends, then go to your local chamber of commerce and see if there are any regulations reguarding the use of your local parks for a family gathering. Have a bbq, or a catered party. Play games, badmitton, horseshoes, and such. Being outdoors is the best thing than being in a stuffy restaurant, or hotel party room.
Would you like to learn new, fresh ideas that you could use to improve your cancer walk? Would you like a way to tap into other people experienced in organizing walks? I thought you would.

A journey of 2200 men and women walking 60 miles over 3 days all because Everyone Deserves a Lifetime. The walk started on September 11 at Shoreline Community College. We headed north through Lynnwood and Mukilteo, ending up at Kasch park for camp in Everett. Day 2 we went all around Everett, through beautiful neighborhoods and with views of the sound. Day 3 we were up early and packed up, boarded busses to take us to Northgate where we started our walk. We ventured through Green Lake to Gas Works Park, through Capitol Hill and then in to Downtown Seattle ending up at Key Arena. The closing ceremonies were next door at Memorial Stadium. It was a fabulous weekend with great weather for walking. 2200 Seattle walkers raised over $5.5 million for breast cancer!
