On Sunday, May 16th the NGOs BORKA and Integrity Alfa Omega, along with support from the US Embassy, local businesses and media sponsors successfully organized the second GO PINK walk in order to raise breast cancer awareness in Macedonia. 2000 people converged on the City Park in the early afternoon. The festivities kicked off with short speeches from Ambassador Reeker and Mrs. Reeker. Mrs. Reeker emphasized that the success of this action was due to the hundreds of people who supported and participated in this event. She went on to say that the keys to successful humanitarian efforts in the U.S. are not big businesses or governments, but rather the common people who volunteer their time to make the world a better place. The crowd then set off on the 3 KM walk through the city. People of all ages and backgrounds arrived from more than twelve different cities and walked side by side in order to support this positive cause. The masses of people who trekked through Skopje in their bold pink shirts sent a clear message that they support breast cancer awareness and are willing to donate their time and money to further explore new methods for curing and treating this disease.
Mrs. Ivanov, the first lady, together with several high government officials and the Diplomatic Corps joined the walk and supported the noble cause.
During the walk Gorska Voda donated bottles of water and kept people well hydrated as they walked in the warm summer day. It was also very encouraging to see that several local businesses stepped up to the plate and helped support this event. Alkaloid AD Skopje, QBE, Remedika and Sofija- Print Design led the way with the biggest donations but other companies also contributed. As everyone filed back into the City Park, performances by some of the most popular bands in Macedonia continued the day of fun. Volunteers were able to enjoy good music, great friendship, and lots of laughter while supporting this wonderful cause.
In the end Integrity Alfa Omega and BORKA raised hundreds of thousands of Denars to support breast cancer patients. We hope to see your support in future actions that bring awareness to issues such as breast cancer, which affects all people regardless of religion, sex, ethnicity, or age. We also encourage you to contact BORKA if you are interested in making a donation to this worthy cause. NAPRED ROZOVO!!

My name is Meagan. On October 25-26 2008 I will be walking 39 miles in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. In order to participate I must raise at least $1800.While brainstorming for ways to raise money me and my friend Noni decided to write a song and make a music video. As a tribute, fundRAZOR and awareness method I will be getting a mohawk when I reach my goal… hence CURLS For A CURE.

3-DAY Breast Cancer Walk SF September 5, 2008 
Well, the music is about running for life and hope. On my journey I’m still walking 
Here is a video of pictures from the two walks I have participated. If you give yourself reasons why you can’t do something, try to give yourself reason why you can. Even though I am obese, I can still walk miles and help others. More pictures at: http://pink4help.multiply.com/ or for info about the walk: www.avonwalk.org
