In the late 1970's, my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. At that time, treatment options were very limited.

I wish the only reason I walk is for exercise, but until there is a cure for breast cancer, I will walk to raise awareness and money.

If you are interested in walking, visit the Avon Walk website to learn more -- www.avonwalk.org . This year, walks will take place in Houston, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Rocky Mountains, San Francisco, Los Angels, New York and Charlotte.
