Men With Heart http://www.menwithheart.org men committed to fighting breast cancer Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:33:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 Walks and parties http://www.menwithheart.org/walks-and-parties/ http://www.menwithheart.org/walks-and-parties/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:07:58 +0000 Jack B. http://www.menwithheart.org/?p=1348 Walking season is fast approaching. Here’s an update on our Avon and Komen teams, plus news about two upcoming MWH parties.

~The Walks~

Avon walk: 2 days/40 miles
May 19-20
This will be the 11th consecutive year that MWH has fielded an Avon team. If I had more time, I’d calculate just how much we’ve raised for the Avon, but suffice to say it’s in the multiple hundreds of thousands. Please consider joining the MWH team for this walk. Click here to register for the Avon.

Komen walk: 3 days/60 miles
July 27-29
Komen may be lousy at PR, but they are still a powerful fundraising machine for fighting breast cancer. Their 3-day events are well produced and raise both awareness and funds in great quantities. Sign up for the Komen walk here.

~The Parties~

Our friends at Glynn Hospitality and Outback Steakhouse have confirmed they’ll be putting on their respective parties again this year with MWH as the beneficiary.

Glynn party (June 21):
If you attended the open-air block party outside Jose McIntyre’s last year, you know this event is a blast! With live bands, outdoor taps and grills, raffles and prizes, this is a must-attend event on the MWH social calendar.

Outback party (August 23):
Outback pushed their party into late summer (it was in May last year), which means better weather and a chance to celebrate the conclusion of another successful walking season. This socially minded restaurant chain, in collaboration with Heineken, provides the venue, food, beer, and raffle prizes. 100% of the proceeds go to MWH.

Keep an eye on the MWH website and Facebook page for more info as these events draw closer.

It’s also been a decade since the first Boston Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. With that kind of symmetry, it only makes sense to hold the Avon 10th Anniversary Party at Gillette Stadium!

Please join Men With Heart at the
Avon 10th Anniversary Party
Saturday, February 4
11 am – 2 pm
Gillette Stadium

Avon has booked a function room smack in the middle of the Pats’ playpen to celebrate a decade of breast cancer walks. The venue offers a stunning view of the stadium, and it’s all happening just one day before the Patriots vie for their 4th Super Bowl trophy! Come join the fun! The event is free. RSVP suggested.

More info.

This article, from the Life Goes Strong website, reviews five such apps (and also gives a plug to MWH!). Get instructions for self-exams, GPS directions to the nearest mammography clinic, diagnosis guidance, and more, all on your phone.

Do you know of any other breast cancer or health apps? Hit the orange “comments” link and tell us about them!
