Torii Station hosted an awareness walk. It was actually advertised way in advance and we had a fabulous turn out. There a little more than 300 participants. I currently work as a advocate for domestic abuse so it is something that is important to me. However, Breast Cancer Awareness is near and dear to my heart as we have a family member, Ana Mae Arevalo, who has battle this disease for a little over 8 years. Ana had gone into remission and had done great up until 2008. Unfortunately, she is not doing well and is just living day to day. We have done the Susan G. Komen walk for many years and since we had not been able to participate since we left Arizona this was the next best way to show our support. Ana is a wonderful person and I have never watched anyone fight like she has. She is definitely someone to admire.
