This year, Latin Club will be participating in a
Walk to Cure Cancer sponsored by UMass Worcester. We are trying to
raise as much money as possible for this cause, and when there, we
want to show as much spirit as possible. The goal of the walk is to
enjoy ourselves doing something that is worthy, and that will help
people. We can continue to raise money until December, and will use the time to the best of our abilities.
Cancer
is something that affects millions of people. 11.7 million Americans
had Cancer presently or in the past in 2007. 1,596,670 people are
estimated to be diagnosed with the disease this year, and more than 1,500 people are expected to die of it a day. And that's only in America.
We,
as a club, want to be able to do what we can. At the moment, we may not
be bio-engineers or chemists, but we do have the ability to sponsor
those who are. We have the ability to go to UMass at 8am and
register, so we can walk. We have the ability to donate money to those
who are, or buy products that give all money to this cause. All of us
can do something as little as walk a mile, or buy a bracelet, put a
penny in a change jar- and thus have the ability to help save a life. Help
Latin club donate to this cause, and now that you have helped a person
who has cancer- and a family who lives knowing a loved one can die any
moment.
Thank you.
