On 11 September a team of IWAV ladies participated in a Walk Against Breast Cancer organized within the frameworks of Vilnius Mini Marathon. The aim of the event was to raise awareness of breast cancer and raise funds. Part of the participation fee will be donated to Avon Breast Cancer Foundation
We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather on that day which made the whole experience even more joyful. The atmosphere at the starting line was electric and very exciting. After cheering for parents with strollers and for marathoners who had been running since early morning a crowd of mini-marathon participants got ready to race. Pink balloons were handed out to be released at the sound of the start gun shot which made for a pretty scene. Some of us did a bit of jogging mixed with walking which proved to be a great exercise. I think everyone liked this experience and there was talking about participating next year and maybe doing even more of that running or jogging.
Many thanks to Erin for organizing our team and making stylish T-Shirts with a Breats Cancer Awareness logo and message on the back.

Glad the weather was great for this walk. I am registered to take part in a breast cancer walk in about a month and I can not wait. My friends and I heard about it on the radio and did not want to miss out on the chance to support one of our friends that have passed away about two years ago. Right now we are searching for various breast cancer items to represent our support. Hopefully the weather is clear and sunny like yours was.
