We Turned Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

About 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, and over 85% of those women have no family history.  We were so pleased to raise awareness for the 2.8 million women in the US with a history of breast cancer, by wearing our pink and hiking the popular "Dish" in the hills near Stanford University.  Our walk was inspired by our friends at Poised who organize the walk annually, but this year our calendar was full on their hike date, October 27th.  So, in true ChAngels style, we walked on our own so we could still participate.  We were able to donate $200 for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarves, to purchase scarves for cancer patients who have lost their hair during treatment.

Kick-Off a New Year and Breast Cancer Walk

A few weeks back we kicked off this year with a meeting right where it all started five year's ago, in Kate's living room.  We welcomed a new member, Nicole and her mom, and we were full of excitement and ideas.

October 6th will be our first event.  We are walking for Breast Cancer.  We've invited friends to bring change and wear pink.  All donations from this event will be given to Poised founders Yvonne and Jill, who are walking later this month in their annual Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarves walk.  They will then purchase scarves for cancer patients at Stanford.  They've inspired us in the past with their walk, and we are so happy for the inspiration.
