Co-Founder of the Joy to Life Foundation and breast cancer survivor Joy Blondheim created the Walk to Life back in 2002 to raise money for people in need of screenings. “Its very emotional to see all of this happen because we thought this would go on a year or two, but it seems to be working and everyone is supportive and it’s just a wonderful thing the support that we’ve got,” said Blondheim.
Besides making a difference in the river region, people were proud to walk for loved ones or themselves.
