As part of my new "be more involved and aware" kick, I am volunteering for the Alexandria Walk to Fight Breast Cancer. It is in its 16th year and it is organized by the City of Alexandria Office of Women. The Walk supports free mammograms and other diagnostic screening procedures for Alexandria women who are not adequately insured, who earn low/moderate income and could not otherwise obtain this necessary medical care.
My grandmother had breast cancer - among other things - and she had a terrible time with it. She eventually passed away from complications. I will be volunteering and walking for my grandma.
If you would like to join me, sign up and let me know. I think it is well worth the $30 donation.
