Bras for the cause walk

For my first two volunteering experiences i sold cupcakes,brownies,and other treats to raise money for research for breast cancer. This money will help go toward finding a cure for the disease that that is spreading very rapidly. A few days ago i was at it again selling items again but this was different because after I was going to walk a 5k with some employees too support everyone's effort. Some of my mothers co-workers whom i have come come to be close friends with also were planning to do the walk with me so i was looking forward to the walk after a day of selling to raise money. 

I started to sell and sure enough everyone started to come up and ask what i was there for and to help out. I sold almost all my items in 3 hours which was faster then usual. I made 300 hundred dollars and turned it in to the boss. She was so proud and happy but than started to tear up. I asked what was wrong and found out her grandmother had just passed away from this horrible disease. She got her composure back and we got ready to do the 5k. I have a lot of respect for her because she is fighting against the evil that killed her family member The walk was at night at weaved through all of Pleasanton. We stretched out and got ready to go. As we began cars began honking and local residents were cheering and even gave high fives to everyone walking by. There was a lot of emotion in the air and you could tell that lots of people and their families are being affected by this disease. Witch made it even more rewarding to be there.

We started the walk around 8 and ended it at 930. We were exhausted but managed to get to the car and replenish out waters and drive home. I think the most rewarding part if this experience is getting recognized for the hard work you did. It always feels good to help but high fives are always appreciated. When a disease such as breast cancer happens it is especially difficult because there are so many brave women fighting it and there is still no known cure. That is another reason i feel my work is helpful because i am raising money to hopefully find a cure which could possibly save one of my family members and countless others.
