Hawkins Methodist Women is sponsoring a
team for the Komen Tyler Race for the Cure again this year. Great strides
have been made in the battle against breast cancer, but much remains to be done
before it is conquered. Up to 75% of the net proceeds of the Race will be
used in East Texas for breast health education and breast cancer screening and
treatments. The other 25% will go to the national organization for the
Cure Grants Program in the search for a cure. The Komen Tyler Race for the Cure
will be held on May 10, 2008 (the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend).
This is a wonderful way to celebrate Mother’s Day with your family. We
urge you to participate and ask your husband, daughters, sons, daughters- and/or
sons-in law, and grandchildren to join you. The fee for the race is $22.00.
Most of us will be walking, not running, in this event. There is a
one-mile course and a 5K (roughly 3 miles) course. You do not have to
actually walk to participate; just fill in an entry form and pay the fee.
Each person who enters will receive a tee shirt; breast cancer survivors will
receive two shirts – a survivor shirt and a regular entry shirt. You may
also submit more than the entry fee if you wish to contribute additional money. If you wish to participate as part of this team, please see Sharon Clifton or Ann Reynolds or go by the church office to pick up an entry form. Each form must be signed and must be submitted by April 9. Please return the form and your payment to Sharon, Ann or the church office. If you have any questions, please contact Sharon at 903-769-1230.
