What an amazing (but very hot) weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara, for the AVON Walk For Breast Cancer. This event raised 4.4 million dollars for breast cancer research.
- The following is a partial list of recipients of grants the Avon Foundation for Women awarded at the Avon Walk Santa Barbara Closing Ceremony:
- The Avon Breast Cancer Center at the UCLA-Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and its Olive View Medical Center
- The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation
- Cedars Sinai Medical Center
- Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope
- Project Angel Food received a grant for $125,000, an organization that supports meal delivery and nutritional counseling services for those fighting breast cancer and their families throughout the Los Angeles County-area. http://www.angelfood.org
Forty miles in two days...I can do that.
Some of the wonderful supporters along the route. These people kept us walking and smiling.
What an inspiring and uplifting event. I have taken away memories that will last a lifetime, and shared laughs, tears and prayers with total strangers who became friends by the end of day two. I could not have done this without the help of a great support team who cheered me on, gave me encouragement and donated to this awesome organization.
God Bless You!
