Y-ME Walk will aid breast cancer programs
This Mother’s Day, San Diego residents can celebrate the women in their lives by attending the third annual Y-ME Walk to Empower on Sunday, May 13, at Mariner’s Point in Mission Bay Park. Participants in this 3-mile walk will honor and commemorate breast cancer survivors and victims while raising money to benefit programs and services for those currently battling the disease.
The Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization, a nonprofit organization sponsoring the Walk to Empower, funds a variety of peer-support and informational programs, including a 24-hour hotline staffed entirely by breast cancer survivors trained to answer questions about breast health and breast cancer.
The walk was started 16 years ago in Chicago and has grown to include communities across the nation in raising awareness for the more than 2.3 million women in the U.S. currently living with breast cancer. Last year, more than 1,300 San Diego residents helped Y-Me raise $200,000 at the walk.
For information or to register to walk, visit www.y-me.org or call (877) 963-7223 ext. 8527.
