Breast Cancer Action Kingston's 15th ANNUAL WALK - Saturday, May 10, 2008

We at Breast Cancer Action Kingston wish to thank all our Board Members, Chestmates and BCAK Volunteers as well as those from the business and private sectors who have supported our cause for the past 15 years and continue to work tirelessly with us to ensure our success! It is hard to believe that so much time has passed - our hope being directed to research into the cause and cure for breast cancer. Each year we dedicate our Walk to those no longer with us.

100% of our funds remain in the Kingston area. One-third of money raised from our Walk is directed through applications to the Breast Cancer Action Kingston Research Grant Competition adjudicated by the KGH Research Development Committee.

Donation dollars allow BCAK to deliver programmes that assist women and men living with breast cancer such as our Survivor and Lymphedema Support Groups, "Share the Care" Programme and the Post Operative Puffy Pillow Project. We offer exercise and yoga programmes as well as our dragon boat team, Chestmates. All these promote awareness, the value of exercise and are an uplifting message for all survivors. Your pledges allow BCAK to keep teaching breast self-examination, send out Hands On kits, provide financial assistance, and expand our lending library of books, CDs and DVDs, the Knitting Basket Project and Healing Retreat. Our quarterly newsletter Today has a world wide circulation with 1,800 issues travelling the globe.
