Pink Project

My hospital hosted its first ever walk for Breast Cancer Awareness on Saturday, Oct. 17th. It was a 4 mile walk from the parking lot of the hospital to the parking lot of our Surgery Center. It seemed to be a huge success with over 100 participants ranging from the very young to over 70yrs of age. We even had two from the canine family. There were tons of door prizes given away at the end of the event along with lunch donated by lots of local businesses. To top off the event there was a balloon release in memory of those who've lost their battle and for those still fighting. It was a beautiful sight and I spent much of the day drying my eyes.

Most of the girls from our department participated in the day either by walking or set-up.We all work in ultrasound or radiology so we often see cancer up close.It felt great to be a part of something much bigger than myself. I know the event raised alot of money for the cause and I'm already looking forward to next year's event.
