October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month




In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, ChAngels repeated the breast cancer walk that we did last year: some things are worth doing twice! We looped around the Stanford Dish with Poised, a personal training group, who organizes a walk called The Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarves. The Poised staff raises money from the walk to purchase head scarves for cancer patients that have lost their hair from chemotherapy.


Before walking we each thought of a breast cancer survivor that we know to honor on our walk. With the name of that woman stored in our head or tucked in our shoe, we walked in awareness and with hope. We thank Yvonne and Jill at Poised for sponsoring such a wonderful event and for providing the sparkly pink visors and fluffy pink boas that made it so festive!
