Why We Walk

With the Avon Walk just 11 days away, we are gathering up the names of those that we are walking in Memory of....and in Honor of.  Those who have lost the fight, those who are still battling, and those who have won.  We write each name on a card that we attach to our backpacks for all to see...and we carry them with us each step of the way.  We are honored to do this:

Anush, you will be carrying all those feelings and emotions related to all those survivors, and those who have left us on your back! I admire you for your commitment, being unselfish and courageous! Good luck and may God be with you and Ani for every step of your way to reach the 39 miles!

Thank you Sonig. We are committed to the cause and pray for a day when all cancer will be eradicated from our lives. Until then, one foot in front of the other....we'll keep walking. I hope you'll join us in for the Avon Walk next year in San Francisco.
