Yesterday, I went on a walk that supported Breast Cancer. Originally, I didn’t want to wake up 7:00 in the mourning to walk for about 3 hours. Although my attitude changed once I arrived at LSU. As I began walking I noticed how many survivors were out there walking showing their tremendous accomplishment. Also there were many family members with shirts and tags that show that they are running and walking for their family/ friends. I was amazed by the number of people that were out there.
I am glad that none of my family members were diagnosed with cancer, but I still ran to support the cause.
One thing that stuck out to me at the walk was primarily was what they did for the surviving cancer patients after they finished the walk. After they finished completing the walk, they set up an entrance for the survivors which lead to a bunch of surprises. There, they handed out medals, roses, and many other prizes for completing the course. You could feel the compassion from the survivors by the way that tears strolled down their faces. It was a beautiful sight to see, and I’m glad that I was apart of this moment which changed people lives.
Paul great post. I'm glad you went out and supported and now it makes me want to go out and support.
