I had such an amazing time at the 2010 EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women’s Cancer… I’ve consistently attended the event for the past few years and every year is a great experience. The Revlon Run/Walk is 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) long which started at the coliseum, walked through Adams, Figueroa, Jefferson, and Vermont, returning to the coliseum.
If you’ve never attended the Revlon Run/Walk and maybe are interested in doing it next year, I encourage you to attend because you will not only be running or walking for a great cause, but also because you will leave their truly touched by people’s stories of loved ones affected by cancer.
The event itself is complete with vendors who give away free goodies, a medal ceremony for those who raced the event, and a concert in the end–this year Chaka Khan blessed us with her still very amazing voice!
So all in all, I’m thankful to have attended and supported the cause yet another year. I may not have cancer myself, as well as anyone in my immediate family, but I do this every year with the hope that I am helping other women who were affected or are currently affected by cancer.
Facts
For women, the three leading causes of cancer death were lung, breast and colorectal cancer for all racial/ethnic groups except Hispanic women, for whom breast cancer ranked first. Cancer.gov contains a national report related to the U.S. cancer rates.
So, as far as breast cancer goes, African American women are more likely to die from this cancer, many times because it’s detected much later when it’s harder to treat or cure. Our breast cancer death rates are more than double that of Caucasians. All types of agency listings, programs, and resources are listed in the report from the Office Of Minority Health.

Keep the flag flying and congrats on the completion of your walk @ the Revlon Run/Walk.
Thanks so much Ify for always helping out and showing your support!
Bessie, good job fund raising for Revlon Run Walk and for putting the video together. The course which you advocate for is a great one and I am glad that you have a wonderful mom that inspired you to do all the great things.
Thank you so much for that Cjay, and thanks for being one of my sponsors! I appreciate all the support you’ve lent me. I was truly inspired by those walking in memory of others, and even those who are sick themselves but had the strength to endure the walk. Ultimately, yes I am motivated mostly by my own mother
Thanks for taking the time out to check out the video.
