Allen Brown, Ryan Blanchard, Fiona Blanchard and Stacie Heichel will be walking for a cause this August.
The four will participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day which is a 60-mile walk for men and women who want to make a personal difference in the fight against breast cancer.
They are doing this in honor of their mother, Fiona Brown, who had a successful battle with breast cancer after being diagnosed in 1995. The Clarkston resident is proud of her children.
‘They leave me speechless,? Fiona said. ‘The support they give me is great. I am very proud of their effort.?
Each participant needs to raise a minimum of $2,000 and the net proceeds fund critical breast cancer research and community outreach programs. The walkers are looking for donors.
‘It is not an easy task. It would be one thing if it was just one person hitting up our family and friends but it is four of them,? Fiona said.
The event is set for Aug. 20-22. The group will walk 20 miles a day, although the route has not yet been established.
To donate, interested individuals can visit www.the3day.org and enter one of their names. Individuals can also e-mail the group at we_walk_4mum@wideopennest.com.
