Senior Walkers Make A Statement Against Cancer

Posted on 17 October 2010. Tags: ,

DOING THEIR PART IN THE FIGHT – Staff members and residents of the Frederick Mennonite Community, 2849 Big Rd., Frederick PA, took a fund-raising walk Friday (Oct. 15, 2010) around the hallways and paths of the facility to help support the fight against breast cancer. Walkers celebrated afterward with a small party they enjoyed with friends, family members and community employees. October is being observed as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The walk in Frederick coincided with the start of the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s three-day Walk For The Cure, from the Philadelphia suburbs into Center City.
