I had the privilege of participating with the St. John's Liberty Partnership Programs walk to find a cure for breast cancer...The LPP group raised over $800 this year...The total contingent from St. Johns University collected over $11,500 before the final totals had been tallied...
It was a gorgeous Indian summer day for the Annual Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk...the walk kicked off from Queens Borough Hall and proceeded down the north service road of Queen Boulevard to the former Alexander's store on 63rd Drive and returned...

The walkers were literally dancing in the streets...it's not every day that you can dance in the middle of Queens Boulevard without sustaining serious injury or death...
