The road to a cure
College years are hard enough with a full load of classes and part-time job. For many students who have a parent diagnosed with cancer, school suddenly becomes a secondary priority. Their mother or father is sick, and their parent's wellness is the biggest miracle they can hope for, yet it is out of their hands. All they can do is wait. But sophomore Jenevra Fryer is not satisfied with waiting. She is determined to do the biggest thing she knows she can. From June 15 to 17, she will walk 60 miles from Kenosha, Wisc., to Chicago, Ill. As part of the Avon 3-Day Walk, Fryer will raise $1,900 and walk with 3,000 other women, supporters and survivors of breast cancer. The purpose of the event is to raise money for the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, which provides money for medical research, financial assistance to breast cancer patients, support services for patients and families, advocacy training and community education and early detection programs.
