Snohomish sponsors cancer walk-a-thon
More than 125 students and people from the community gathered Oct. 6 at Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish to raise money for breast cancer research.
The fifth annual Breast Cancer Walk-a-thon at the high school attracted participants from various clubs including DECA, Future Business Leaders of America and the football team. Students who are part of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America made cookies for participants while the National Art Honor Society made buttons for the event.
Students during the walk-a-thon learned how to address stories about breast cancer and feel comfortable listening.
All of the money raised will be donated to Komen Puget Sound, benefiting underserved and low-income women in Western Washington. Komen Puget Sound over the past 20 years has invested more than $19 million to fund mammograms, patient support and education for low-income women.
