Come rain or shine, walkers and runners take to the Tom O' Leary trail in Bismarck, ND for the Medcenter One Run/Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness. One in 8 women will be affected by breast cancer. Look around....do you have 8 women in your life that you love and care about? Odds are one of them will be affected by breast cancer. Walkers and runners come from all over to participate in this community event. Organizations, including the American Cancer Society, gather together at the beginning of the Run/Walk at the Women's Health Center and offer a multitude of education regarding health and wellness....most centered around conquering breast cancer. Pat, who is pictured with me above, is a wonderful woman and a great friend to my father. I have known her since I was a child. Pat has always participated in this event in the past working hard to try and bring awareness regarding this disease to our community and now at the 14th annual event she spoke about her own battle with breast cancer - she was diagnosed this summer. Honesty, humor and life sprang from her as she spoke about her personal fight as she battles this terrible disease. Her hat reads, "FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!" Do your duties women.....take care of your breasts and end this battle!
