Breast cancer walks: a little step goes a long way
Breast malignancy is a sickness that will affect one adult female out of eight in their life. Although it is a disease affecting mainly adult females, men can rarely have some form of breast malignancy. Even if a adult female does not have breast cancer, the odds are she will have a relative or friend that will have it.
cancer has made some great progress in recent ages but with the life expectancy getting pushed further and further, the odds of a person developing a malignancy in her lifetime increases. Breast malignancy is among the most common malignancy and is getting much attention as it is affecting millions of adult females and their families every year.
I was recently on a Carnival cruise in the Caribbeans and was pleased to see that they were organizing a one mile walk against breast malignancy. I signed-up along with my children and was told that the profits were going for breast cancer search. We were also given a t-shirt and a pink wristband. Although the stroll was only scheduled to take place three days later on the boat deck, we decided to practice and started walking wearing our t-shirt. Being a marketer, I was too hoping to do some publicity for the stroll and was ready to ask inquiries about the action.
I was pleased to see that people were interested and asking us questions about our t-shirt and what we were doing and answered gladly. After all, the more people participate in those money raising activities the faster they will find a cure for breast cancer.
On the day of the walk, we were greeted by a short talk about the history of the "on deck for a cure" activity which is a trademark by Carnival cruises that was started a couple of ages ago. So far, they have raised over seven hundred thousands bucks for breast cancer search and treatment.
The organizers then asked people to raise their hand if they were a malignancy survivor. I was shocked and I got chills on my skins when I saw that out of the fifty individuals there, more than five rose their hands. It made me realize how frequent cancer is and that we must join forces to help find a cure and better overall treatment options.
Participating in our group was about fifty individuals, two of which were men. I was a little disappointed to see that men do not feel more concerned about breast cancer which affects the adult females in their lives. The walk was a very nice middle to slow pace three tours around the ship and at the end we were offered a glass of pink lemonade.
I was happy to participate in the "on deck for the cure" walk for many reasons: I had a chance to spend more time with my children, I love walking, I have contributed a little to a fund-raising event against breast cancer.
There are many walks against breast cancer going around everywhere. You can go online and find one in your area. I am sure you will love your experience.
I want to congratulate Carnival cruises for creating and participating in such a great activity as the stroll on deck against breast cancer. I certainly wish that the activity gets more publicity and grows. One thing that would be very cool is to see an entire cruise attendees walking on deck and raising lots of dollars against breast cancer. Maybe I should work on that. |
