Participating in cancer walks can be a great way to fight cancer and support those who are dealing with the challenges of cancer. Cancer affects all of us, either directly or indirectly.

If you don’t believe cancer affects you, consider these statistics. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 1.4 million new cases of diagnosed cancer will occur this year alone. In 2004, there were approximately 10.8 million people who had a history of cancer. Last year the cost of cancer was estimated to be over $200 Billion dollars! Cancer does affect all of us.

Cancer walks don’t only raise funds for worthy charities that battle cancer every day. They also help create an awareness and can even be used to recruit volunteers and advocates for the cause.

The purpose of each cancer walk is different. The money raised may go to a nonprofit organization that deals with many forms of cancer or one specific form. Decide where your passion is and get involved in a cancer walk that aligns with your passion.

Some of the more popular cancer walks include:

• Relay for Life (American Cancer Society)
• Breast Cancer 3-Day (Susan G. Komen for the Cure)
• Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (Avon Foundation)
• Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (American Cancer Society)
• Lung Cancer Walk (LUNGevity Foundation)

Search out a cancer walk in your area and get involved. You can play a part in wiping out the disease and supporting those who deal with cancer until it is only a memory.

The Komen Race for the Cure Series raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship, and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.

Everyone was very anxious to begin spreading our health awareness movement because this charity walk is the first non-profit event that we have attended.

Once we pulled up at the event, our promo team was greeted by race participants and volunteers who had not heard about vaporization before.

We handed them our, Vaporization Health Brochures, stickers, and Got Vape Lanyards to provide more information about the positive health benefits associated with our vaporizers.

The Susan G. Komen charity Cancer walk is the most popular Breast Cancer awareness event in the entire nation.

I feel like there is positive effort on the behalf of the entire community, not just those directly affected by breast cancer, to collectively find a cure for this horrible disease, said Loraine Rosenthal, Co-Founder of the Cancer Control Society.

The Got Vape promo team was able to network our health products to everyone in attendance.

We also visited with companies like Fuze Beverages, Yoplait Yogurt, New Balance, Chapstick, and Hallmark to chat about their reasons for sponsoring this charity event.

The overall theme for sponsorship support stems from the fact that Breast Cancer is the number one cause of pre-mature death amongst women; therefore each company wants to contribute to finding a cure for this disease.

At 1pm, the charity walk finished up. We passed out more health education materials to participants as they left the.

We understand that our vaporizers are used as a tool in the treatment of cancer, thus we have added another educational program to help fight this disease.

Stay tuned for future upcoming non-profit events that Got Vape will be participating in.

Our goal at Got Vape is to sponsor top-tier events that leave great memories for all. This is only the beginning!

If you would like to donate please visit www.avonwalk.org/meaganbetts

UPDATE!
My walk was a success and the mohawk was a beut! The walks and cause have had such an impact on my life that I will be walking all 9 cities. I am the youngest person to ever sign up for that! I am required to raise at least $1800 to walk so I must raise at least $16,200 to walk all 9. Your support is so appreciated!
Please visit www.avonwalk.org/meaganbetts to be a part of my mission to end breast cancer and/or to learn more!

See this girl to my right
she came over for the night
and she was telling me about a little project
for all you boys and all you girls
pay attention to those curls
they’re more important to our world
than you might expect
it’s called curls for a cure
chopping hair to fight cancer
and every dollar snips a lock
brings her closer to a mohawk
the donations we collect
all go to the little project
called the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
39 miles in hot weather
and your feet get tired
and it’s hard to do
doing that charitable thing you do
but she’s gonna pull through
with some help from you
in other words
Meagan said she’ll shave her head
help fund for the walk
and she’ll get a mohawk
you might call her crazy
but the girl ain’t lazy
she’s a philanthropist baby
she do it on the daily
oh, just look at the smile on her face
it says, “I’m going to save second base.”
y’all this is literally a headcase
get our your dough
there’s no time to waste
but all sillyness aside
if you want to help to provide
a little goes a long way
you could save a life today
and if you’re looking for a better you
well this gal might be just a step ahead of you
well come on and meet her at the finish line
cuz it don’t take much time
and we don’t have much time
