If you’re in New South Wales, Australia, on Sunday, October 19, get out your running shoes for the very scenic Run For Breast Cancer. The Coordinator for the event wants to see at least five runners or walkers for each breast cancer patient on the North Coast. That translates to 1000 or so participants.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month around the world, and a lot of sponsored walks, runs, and other events are taking place around the globe to raise funds to beat this killer disease. Carolyn Forbes, the coordinator, said about this second run, “The course is so unique. How wonderful to run or walk along Main Beach at Byron Bay and up to the fabulous lighthouse and back again, all for breast cancer. “The route takes you to the lighthouse then back along the beach and people can run or walk,” she said. “We have got some really generous sponsors and there are going to be some great prizes.” Full story is at Byron Shire News.
On an unrelated note, Yahoo.Com will be donating €1, up to a total of €30,000, for every pink photograph uploaded to its special Flickr group this month. If you’d like to help participate, create an account at Flickr, join the Pink2008 Group, and upload your pink photos, up to five per day.
And if the web looks a little pink this month, it’s to show support for breast cancer awareness and research.
