SATURDAY AUG 09 2008 — Camping at Oakton Community College — Des Plaines, thousands of participants traveled through Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights and back to Oakton for Day 2 of the 3-Day for breast cancer. One of three segments for the 20 out of 60 miles traveled over three days. The video shows a few highlights of the event with lots of fun from participants, crew members and volunteers.
Well-wishers lined the streets applauding walkers and other-abled participants, as this was one of the first all-ability events. That meant that wheelchairs were among those traveling the 20 miles round trip. The participants camped out for lunch at Olive School in Arlington Heights, stretching and relaxing in Greens Park before the return trip to Oakton Community College in Des Plaines.
Superior Ambulance provided medical support with several pink ambulances and a roving ‘Motivation Medic’ van with dancing paramedics, disco music and a bubble machine.
