The Avon Walk Around the World for Breast Cancer began in 2005 bringing grassroots activism to a global scale. This worldwide series of events began mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people across the globe raising money and breaking down barriers to awareness and access to care while working to eradicate the disease. Walk Around the World events are linked by the Global Connection Ribbon, which is the symbolic emotional component that connects breast cancer survivors and participants across the world. The ribbon is a powerful symbol of the connection to each other and shared determination to turn every diagnosis into a story of survival. Each Walk Around the World event includes the Global Connection Ribbon ceremony, where this special ribbon is passed from one breast cancer survivor to another uniting all survivors and this global community.

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 
The Dallas YAD Participated in the 2008 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at Northpark mall. The 5K walk/run was to benefit breast cancer research and provides women a chance to get screened for early detection. This is truly a great experience for old and new, and we will definitely be doing this again next year with a larger goal and more people!
Join us at the Race on June 16 at Comerica Park! www.karmanos.org/detroitraceforthecure
