Campus Walk for Breast Cancer 2008

Over 80 campus members -- faculty, staff, and students -- came together October 15, 2008 for the sixth annual Campus Walk for Breast Cancer, honoring colleagues, friends, loved ones, and others who have been touched by breast cancer.

The Walking Leaders led the crowd through a brief stretch to warm up before the walk. The Walking Leaders and Trish Ratto, manager of Health*Matters, greeted the walkers and encouraged everyone to remember and spread the message of the importance of early detection for breast cancer.

Following a 20-minute walk, participants enjoyed a short performance and salsa dance lesson led by the UC Ballroom Dancers, a nationally recognized group of competetors, instructors and social dancers.

The event was sponsored by Health*Matters and the campus Breast Health Committee.
