Survivors Across Sussex, 16 Mile Relay Event, Cancer Survivors Rock!, Block Party, Fundraising Event, Cancer Support Community, Saturday, June 13th, Our Team? 16 Miles or BUST, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
I was waiting for my Venti Cafe Mocha Extra Hot, at Starbucks on Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, when the poster caught my attention. I, usually, do take pictures of posters advertising events here or there. I looked at it for some time, while my daily addiction was being brewed. I posted it on my personal Facebook page….then, one of my friends mentioned about walking it. Another also mentioned the same and added that if we made a team she would join.
As I was walking out of the chiropractor’s office I decided that this would be a good challenge.
June is cancer survivors month. We all have so many people impacted by cancer. The courage of the ones fighting is so impressive. Lifechanging, really.
Cancer Support Community Delaware is located at 18947 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24), Suite 312, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Website? http://www.cancersupportdelaware.org. Tel. 302-645-9150.

I love our team’s name: 16 Miles or BUST

Either form a team, walk in a relay, walk it yourself or even just donate money to support one of the teams. Hopefully, you will choose ours.
