Sister 2 Sister Holds Annual 5K Walk/Run For Breast Cancer Awareness

The 19th annual edition of the Sister 2 Sister 5K Run/Walk for Life was held under sunny skies in Colonial Park on October 5.

Hundreds of walkers and runners – spanning the age gap from child to senior citizen – showed up to show their support for the 24-year-old organization headquartered on Hamilton Street.

Sister 2 Sister’s mission is to provide “sanctuary, support, education, advocacy and administers breast cancer related programs for minority and underserved breast cancer survivors,” according to its web site.
