Press release from the Boulevard Park Place Walking Club
The residents of Boulevard Park Place Retirement Community have formed a walking club. They have been walking since January in support of their fellow residents who are involved in the Relay For Life of Highline cancer walk.
The team has 34 members who have collectively walked over 2,700 miles. Their goal is to reach 3,000 miles by June 8, the date of our Relay. Each team member has received a pledge of $1.00 per mile walked. It will be donated to Relay For Life of Highline in their name. The average age of this group is 79 years young. One of them has walked more than 410 miles, on her way to over 450 miles by June 8th.
Almost 30 Years ago, a Tacoma Doctor ran a track for 24 hours to raise money for cancer research. This gave birth to the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. Today, there are Relay For Life events all over the country, including, Burien, on June 8th. Form a team today and together we can make a difference in the fight against cancer! And celebrate more birthdays! For more information on Relay For Life events within your community. Please join us at Relay For Life of Highline June 8th at Highline High School Stadium.
