Members involved in 
American Cancer Society fund-raiser

PASADENA—On Sunday, Oct. 20, the American Cancer Society sponsored a 5K walk at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to raise funds for cancer awareness and support. Several WCG headquarters employees, Pasadena A.M. members, friends and family participated. They comprised just a few of the 15,000 participants who were "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer." American Cancer Society statistics indicate that 39,000 women will die of breast cancer this year. Victims aren’t all women; about 400 men will die from the disease this year.

Several of the walkers were participating to support those who have survived cancer or who have had a family member or friend die of cancer. It was heartening to see grandchildren walking with their grandmother’s name on their back to show they were walking for her.

Audrey Robinson, a member of the Pasadena A.M. congregation, walked the five kilometers with her walker. The Pasadena Star-News featured her in its article about the walk. She was an example to us all.
