Walk to Cure Cancer 2011

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.

Bracelets (blue, livestrong style, say Walk to Cure Cancer): $2 to Cancer

With Love,
