Description

We had 78 participants come out and walk or run at our Breast Cancer Awareness Walk/Run event.  This was our 2nd event in our 2009 - 2010 Keep On Movin' It monthly event series.  This event was held at Farmington - Berg Park, people were able to donate personal hygiene items or paper products that were given to the Connelly Hospitality House.  Participant received pink ribbons and the first 10 women were given a certificate to get a personal demonstration on how to conduct a breast exam.
