We chose to walk because of the way breast cancer has touched our lives. We walk not only for those who have lost the battle, but those who have yet to fight it- perhaps a sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, daughter or friend. We walk so that her battle may be easier than those who went before her.
Every woman is at risk for breast cancer.
About two million breast cancer survivors in the US are alive today. This year over 180,000 women in the US will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The 2000 Walk was covered by every Atlanta television and radio station as well as the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and many local papers.
