"TWO CAUSES, ONE WALK" WALKATHON
supports solutions for breast cancer,
HIV/AIDS, and domestic violence. These
silent killers are devouring our people,
especially women. Breast cancer is the
second leading cause of cancer death among
African American women, exceeded only
by lung cancer. HIV is the leading cause
of death for black women aged 25-34 years.
50% of female homicides and manslaughters
are victims of Domestic Violence. In three
years, we have raised more than $130,000
to offer greater support to agencies that
are at the forefront of the fight against
these three deadly diseases.
