After seeing this compelling video of the Avon Walk for Cancer kick-off at the Houston Walk, I became inspired to become involved. Not only is it coupled withone of my favorite, inspiring songs, but the images encourage and pull at my heart strings. The Avon Houston Walk raised $2 million to advance access to care and find a cure for breast cancer. More than 1,000 participants from 33 states and Washington, D.C., including 97 breast cancer survivors, participated. During the Closing Ceremony, a five-year breast cancer survivor was one of the several speakers who provided an immediate reminder of the impact of breast cancer and the importance of taking action.
