This past weekend, I participated in the Rays of Hope Walk at Forest Park in Springfield. This is a walk to raise money for breast cancer through Baystate Medical Center. This is my second year walking in support of a teacher who had breast cancer at my school. It is a great event, where all of the Selser teachers gather around our colleague who is currently in remission. This is truly a school-building, support group that encourages breast cancer patients and women who are in remission to be strong and have a positive outlook.
Before the walk in the morning we all gathered together for a big breakfast and then traveled to Forest Park for the walk. You can choose how long you would like to walk because they have two routes designated for all the participants. I chose the 2 mile walk, but some others chose to do the 5 mile. After the walk, we all gathered at my teachers church in East Longmeadow and had a pot luck lunch. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we not only raised money for the breast cancer foundation, but we also exercised as well!
