On Wednesday, August 11, I had the chance to attend the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer kick-off breakfast, which PAN is a sponsor for. Talk about an emotionally charged and inspirational morning! The event was held in the beautiful State Room in downtown Boston, and TV News Anchor Anne Allred (7News) and Radio Personality Candy O’Terry (MAGIC 106.7) were the fabulous hosts. We heard from breast cancer survivors, leaders in the medical community, and people whose lives have been touched by cancer. We heard many touching stories – one minute you were laughing, the next minute you were crying. Each survivor who spoke had such strength, and such a positive attitude and outlook on life – it was simply contagious. The best part was that everyone in that room was gathered for one reason – to raise money and fight breast cancer. It was truly powerful.
PAN is very proud to be a sponsor for this walk, and we look forward to raising money as a team to help fight the war against breast cancer. If you’d like to donate to team PAN, please email Ani Jigarjian ([email protected]) with your pledge – every single dollar counts. PAN will have a team participating in the 5-mile walk on Sunday, October 3rd.
