Cancer Walks

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:35:59 +0000

Participating in cancer walks can be a great way to fight cancer and support those who are dealing with the challenges of cancer. Cancer affects all of us, either directly or indirectly.

If you don’t believe cancer affects you, consider these statistics. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 1.4 million new cases of diagnosed cancer will occur this year alone. In 2004, there were approximately 10.8 million people who had a history of cancer. Last year the cost of cancer was estimated to be over $200 Billion dollars! Cancer does affect all of us.

Cancer walks don’t only raise funds for worthy charities that battle cancer every day. They also help create an awareness and can even be used to recruit volunteers and advocates for the cause.

The purpose of each cancer walk is different. The money raised may go to a nonprofit organization that deals with many forms of cancer or one specific form. Decide where your passion is and get involved in a cancer walk that aligns with your passion.

Some of the more popular cancer walks include:

Relay for Life (American Cancer Society)
Breast Cancer 3-Day (Susan G. Komen for the Cure)
Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (Avon Foundation)
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (American Cancer Society)
Lung Cancer Walk (LUNGevity Foundation)

Search out a charity walk in your area and get involved. You can play a part in wiping out the disease and supporting those who deal with cancer until it is only a memory.

Walking the 3 day Breast Cancer walk…question about formalities..?

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:46:07 +0000

is it true that when walking either the avon walk or the 3 day walk to raise money for breast cancer research, only survivors can wear pink hats? I'll be walking in honor of my grandpa's wife and don't want to be disrespectful…thanks
I don't believe that is the case. The pink hats and other pink ribbon materials are a way that all women and men can show their support of the Breast Cancer Crusade.

There is a great link to the Avon Foundations Walk for Breast Cancer site below. Perhaps you could ask in the forum there, where many have participated in the event before.

I hope this helps!
P.S. Good for you, I think your Grandpa's wife must be very proud.

2008 Susan G. Komen Race Against Cancer

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:51:03 +0000

I was asked to film at the 2008 Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure held at Balboa Park on Nov 2TH. The event was an eye opener with so many people who had survived cancer and was there. It was a day for pink. I even had on a pink cowboy hat and was proud. I was there not only as a cinematographer, but also to learn more about cancer.
It was great and the turn out was in the thousands. The Team I was with was called Skywalkers, who had this large bra that got noticed very quickly. The footage looks like a professional Sony Cine Alta or a Panasonic Varicam had shot it. The Canon FS100 for $249.99 has done it again making my films look like a million bucks. On a side note, there is this beautiful woman I interviewed and she looks like Sandra Bullock. At first I thought it was her.
