WPMG is once again joining the Fight Against Cancer at Relay For Life of Mountain View from 5/22/2010 at 10 am until 5/23/2010 at 10 am at beautiful Cuesta Park. This unforgettable 24 hour experience celebrates survivors, remembers loved ones, and gives us all a chance to fight back against a horrible disease. WPMG invites all of our friends and patients to join our team. Our team pledges to keep a walker on the track at Cuesta Park at all times for a 24 hour period. After all, cancer never sleeps. Fortunately the 24 hrs is packed with fun, entertainment, games for kids, food, ceremonies, and more.
Dr. Sutherland feels especially passionate about this event as she herself is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed and treated in 1995. Fortunately, the diagnosis was made early and she is happy to count herself among the many survivors, in large part due to our improved methods of detection and treatment. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.
If you have battled a cancer of any kind, we hope you will join Dr. Sutherland in the survivors lap which takes place at Cuesta Park at 10:00 am on May 22, 2010. And join all of us again at dusk for the luminaria ceremony, a moving event with lighted personalized luminaria in memory of or in support of the victims of cancer. And don’t miss the inspiring Fight Back ceremony and pancake breakfast on Sunday morning. But we also hope you will join our team and walk as many laps and donate as much money as you feel able.
