Celebrate survivors, honor loved ones who have lost their breast cancer battle, support those who are currently undergoing cancer care and, in general, join us to help bring attention to the importance of increasing awareness of breast cancer screenings and treatment by participating in Spencer’s 2017 Breast Cancer Awareness Walk on Sunday, Oct. 1 at 4 PM.
The awareness walk is free to attend, thanks to the sponsorships from Avera Medical Group Spencer, More 104.9 Radio, Northwest Iowa Surgeons, Abben Cancer Center and Spencer Hospital. Registration for the walk begins at 3:45 pm in Spencer Hospital’s Grand Avenue Park.
The walk takes participants through the highly visible area of downtown Spencer. From the hospital park, participants will walk south on Grand Avenue, across the bridge, and then return to the hospital, walking north on the east side of the street. For those who wish to walk a true 5K, there’s an additional loop through East Leach Park to achieve that goal.
In the case of inclement weather, the walk will take place in Southpark Mall. Please watch Spencer Hospital’s Facebook page, website and More 104.9 radio for weather-related announcements.
