I know it's only September but recently I have been really into the walks and fundraisers to try and find a cure for breast cancer. A few years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a shock to my whole family. She went through chemo, lost all of her hair, and was fighting her hardest. When she still had breast cancer she was weak but still managed to do a walk in Rhode Island for breast cancer. It was so amazing being able to walk side by side with her for a greast cause. She is so strong and I look up to her in so many ways. About a year later she faught breast cancer and to this day it hasn't come back.
This year my family is putting on a fundraiser, which is actually tomorrow, to raise money for my grandmother to walk. Her company will match any money we raise so we are hoping to raise a lot! I am also going to be participating in a breast cancer walk this October in Boston. My grandmother and I will be participating in different walks but fighting for the same cause. There are always ads for breast cancer walks especially in October. There is an avon 3 day walk that I hope to do one day. There are so many ways for people to help! The walks are so much fun and the people there are amazing. You can learn so much by going and participating in one. It's very rewarding and I encourage more people to participate in breast cancer walks or any walk for that matter!

My Mom was diagnosed probably 3 years ago and she also went through all the treatments and shes now down to a 1% chance of it coming back. I'm very happy for her she was a trooper. It's great to hear about other people participating especially your grandmother. I just did a 5 mile breast cancer walk 2 weeks ago it felt good. And that Avon 3 day walk you mentioned my mom did that shorty after she finished all her treatments. She said it was very tough, but she was happy she did it. Hopefully some day they will find a cure!
