Breast Cancer Awareness
The 14th Annual Liz Hurley
Ribbon Run and Survivor
Walk was held on Saturday,
October 21, 2017 in the
beautiful downtown Hunts-
ville area. Over 6,000 run-
ners joined together in sup-
port of breast cancer aware-
ness and prevention. Pro-
ceeds from the 2017 Ribbon
Run will be used to purchase
an additional 3D tomosyn-
thesis mammography machine. With this technology, multiple 3-dimensional
pictures of the breast are taken, making breast cancer easier to detect, particu-
larly in dense breast tissue. Sorors of Epsilon Gamma Omega who are survi-
vors joined forces with other Sorors and friends and participated in the walk
to support this event.
