After several years of virtual programs, many walks are back to in-person events.
Loni Nannini Special to the Arizona Daily Star Autumn is here and fall fundraising walks are back in full force, live and in-person.
“It will be wonderful to see our community come together again. It is super exciting because we know that during the pandemic people lost friends and loved ones not just to COVID, but to suicide. We want to acknowledge those losses and make sure people get the support they need,” said Gillis. “Our real goal is to make this a hopeful, healing event. We want people to know they are not alone, whether they lost someone to suicide or they struggle themselves. In the Honor Bead ceremony, I wear white and I can see someone across the field and know without saying a word that we both experienced the same loss. So much strength comes from wearing these colors and acknowledging these struggles with mental illness,” said Gillis.
Cancer walkThe American Cancer Society seeks to raise $115,000 to help eradicate breast cancer at Pink Out the Park Presented by TMC Health at 8 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 16. Registration begins at 7 a.m. For information go to tucne.ws/1lgu “When you are facing cancer and going through treatment, many people feel very alone. We are all in this together and want to showcase that by bringing together survivors, caregivers and anyone affected by breast cancer. Not only is the American Cancer Society there for you, but the whole community has your back,” said Majeski-Hiller.
Funds raised will help advance Alzheimer’s research — in fact, more than $2 million in active research is in progress at University of Arizona and Arizona State University. The money will also provide care and support for those impacted by Alzheimer’s and their families, according to Morgen Hartford, Southern Arizona Community Executive for the Alzheimer’s Association Desert Southwest Chapter.
