| ROCK the CURE
FAMILY 5K Walk
Team Ridge Pointe, a
Rockwall 3-day breast cancer walk team, announces the Second
Annual Rock the Cure Family 5K walk. The month of October is
“Breast Cancer Awareness” month and Team Ridge Pointe’s goal
is to create more public awareness and knowledge of the breast
cancer disease in the Rockwall community. It is an opportunity for
many who have been touched in some way by breast cancer to come
and show their support to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation or to honor a friend or loved one. Snacks, water, and a
token gift will be available for participants.
Team Ridge Pointe was formed
three years ago at Ridge Pointe Athletic Club. The team trained
and walked their first Dallas/Ft. Worth, Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer 3-day walk in 2006. The team has now grown to a group of 15
dedicated ladies from the Rockwall area who share together the
goals of: training and participating in the annual D/FW 3-day 60
mile walk; the challenge of fundraising to qualify; and most
importantly, the hope of a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime. All proceeds
support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation through
research, education, and community health programs.
Team Ridge Pointe is
passionate about their desire to create more awareness of the
breast cancer health threat and in helping more women survive this
deadly disease. The 2007 Breast Cancer 3-day series took place in
12 cities nationwide and raised more than $86 million through
donations, contributions, and sponsorships.The 3-day walk
team members are: Debra Amerson, Monika Amick, Lorraine Borman,
Cindy Brodnax, Vickie Daniels, Elizabeth Hollman, Sheri Leeuw, Sue
Lowrey, Sheri Martin, Lynne Minter, Barbara Owens, Kathleen
Pampillonia, Mary South, Catherine Sims, and Joyce Zmolik.
