Breast Cancer Awareness Month |

October 20, 2015, Volume 62, No. 10 |
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In honor of this month, we are dedicating October’s Wellness Walk to those who are currently battling breast cancer, have lost their battle to breast cancer and are survivors of breast cancer. We are asking everyone who can to show their support by wearing pink. It can be a pink hat, shirt, socks, jewelry, scarf, etc. The more pink, the better. We want to help bring awareness as we walk throughout the Penn community. So grab your coworkers and join us for just an hour as we take advantage of the great benefits walking produces, while we also remember those who are still on their journey to recovery, pay tribute and honor those who are no longer with us and celebrate those who have survived.
The walk will take place on Friday, October 23 at noon. We will meet in front of College Hall by the Ben Franklin statue. There will be an option to participate in a 1-mile or a 2-mile route. Even if you do not have time or feel that you cannot walk the entire course, please still come out and join us for as long as you are able. You may drop out at any time throughout the walk.
Register for the walk at https://www.hr.upenn.edu/myhr/registration/events?category=all We want to acknowledge and thank our colleagues from the Center for Public Health Initiatives, our collaborators who will be leading October’s walk.
