The Johns Hopkins Breast Center was proud to be a part of Avon's 2 Day Walk in Washington, DC on April 26 and 27, 2003. The 27 mile walk was a huge success. Along the entire route at every cheering station were Johns Hopkins Breast Cancer Survivor Volunteers in pink OR scrubs shaking pink pompoms rooting our team and all participants along the way! The cheering squad is known as "Lillie's Pink Ladies" and this is their second year to participate. Dr. Nagi Khouri, director of Breast Imaging at Johns Hopkins, participated as a walker this year! Johns Hopkins also had a booth in the Wellness Village and answered questions on breast health and breast cancer. Dr. Nancy Davidson, chair of breast cancer research at Hopkins and a medical oncologist here, was on hand as well at our booth! See photos from this event below! The monies raised which was more than 1 million dollars goes to support breast cancer education and research here at Hopkins and elsewhere in the country. Thanks Avon!
