This past Thursday morning, I got up bright and early to volunteer with the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Kickoff Breakfast. It was held at the Chicago Hilton's grand ballroom this year and they had a great turn out! The room looked great and I was really happy I could volunteer my time, reunite with some great friends, and even snap a few photos of the event. I'm still finding ways to incorporate my two loves... photography and nonprofit work. Stay tuned for future attempts to combine my two passions.
The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a great event. It will be held on Sunday, October 16th in Chicago (for information on this walk here), but there are Strides Walks all around the country. Find your closest walk here. Help with set-up/clean-up, volunteer at the event, donate to a walker, or get a team together and walk. I hope to see a cure for this disease in my lifetime, but it won't be possible unless we all get involved.
Packed house at the Hilton Chicago! What a gorgeous room - 
Mary Kate Raminski and Tessa O'Connor, the American Cancer Society is so lucky to have them as staff and I'm so lucky to have them as my friends!
