FIFTH Annual Join the Journey Ten Mile Breast Cancer Awareness Walk

Come join us for a walk...Sunday, September 20th 2009

This is our FIFTH Annual Ten Mile Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. Ten miles may seem long but we feel it represents the tough journey many of us have walked and for one day we all walk together! The walk gives us strength, encouragement and most importantly courage to stay strong where ever this journey takes us. Join the Journey reaches hundreds of breast cancer patients every year with support at a time they need it most and our efforts continue in the community to teach breast cancer awareness.

In the spirit of our FIVE Year Anniversary we hope each walker invites FIVE people to join them on this walk and that each walker asks FIVE people to pledge money for them to reach the goal of Ten Miles. Remember every step you take and every dollar you donate helps families, friends and neighbors here in Rochester, MN.
