16th Annual Bosom Buddies Walk To benefit the WNY Breast Resource Centerat Roswell Park Cancer Institute

Saturday, September 18, 2010
East Aurora Middle School
Dedicated to Doreen Mortimer, Co-Founder of the Bosom Buddies Walk for Roswell

Founded in 1993 as a breast cancer support group, the Bosom Buddies have raised more than $600,000 for the Western New York Breast Resource Center since the first walk in 1995. Last year 500 walkers participated to support the WNY Breast Resource Center.

The Breast Resource Center, created in 1997, assists breast cancer patients and their families as they travel the unfamiliar journey of diagnosis and treatment. It offers a wealth of information and personal support that is available for not only the patient, but also their spouse, siblings, and children, including the youngest members of the family dealing with the treatment of a mother, grandmother, relative or friend. The center is free, open to the public and is a place where anyone can find hope.

The Western New York Breast Resource Center is a vital asset to the community. We hope you participate in the Bosom Buddies Walk for Roswell this year to ensure the center’s services are available for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer in WNY.

For additional information about the walk, call the Special Events Office at (716) 845-8788.
