The residents of Jackson-Feild Behavioral Health Services conducted an
annual Breast Cancer Walk for the past five years. This year the event
was held on October 30.
Students in the on-campus Gwaltney School studied in advance
the impact and effects of breast cancer has on women's health. They
prepared posters that were posted around the campus on this topic.Some of the children's lives have been touched by breast cancer and their posters were more personal.
Residents and staff gathered on a bright, crisp October
morning to walk around the circular drive around the campus several
times. Funds were raised which were donated to help women who are
suffering from this dreaded disease.
