THINK PINK WITH ROBIN LEEDY & ASSOCIATES
As a public relations firm that specializes in healthcare and particularly women’s health and personal care issues, RL&A decided to give back to our community and participate in the American Cancer Society’s 15th Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk, which took place Sunday, October 19th, at Manhattanville College here in Westchester County.
Breast cancer affects all of us in some way, even touching the lives of family members of some of us here at RL&A in the past few years. This was a chance for us to recognize and support breast cancer survivors and help the American Cancer Society make strides toward eliminating the disease and achieve the goal of never having to hear that you or a loved one has breast cancer.
Together with everyone else that came out for the day, more than $1.6 million was raised to fight this deadly disease and the RL&A team was more than happy to play our part.
The Making Strides walk covered a five mile course that ended with what seemed like the hill to end all hills. The walk started at Manhanttanville and wound through SUNY Purchase before it came full circle and ended back at Manhattanville College. Men, women and children of all ages participated.
The day was gorgeous, not too hot, not too cold, but just right, and everyone enjoyed spending the time together and getting some exercise all while helping out this great cause.
The best part of the day was that everyone on the RL&A team — from our most junior member up — all finished the entire 5K race!
