Breast Cancer Network of Strength's Walk to Empower 2009 May 10, 2009

Mother’s Day ‘Walk to Empower’ Provides Breast Cancer Support Today
At 9:00 a.m. on Mother’s Day Sunday, May 10, more than 2,500 walkers and volunteers will gather on the National Mall in D.C. for the 4th Annual Walk to Empower, a 3-mile walk. These walkers will represent various corporations, organizations and families from the Metro community. Yours could be one!

Breast Cancer Network of Strength™ (formerly known as Y-ME®) does not raise funds for research. Instead, it provides immediate emotional support to anyone affected by breast cancer, mainly through the YourShoes 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center staffed by survivors.

The Walk to Empower inspires and empowers all who attend. This fundraising event is the perfect way to honor the survivors in your life, commemorate your own diagnosis and remember those who are no longer with us.

This year’s goal is to raise $400,000 to support programs and services that help ensure no one faces breast cancer alone. Information and registration can be found at http://walk.networkofstrength.org or 1-877-963-7223.
