Step Out-Avon Walk & Run Against Breast Cancer

Avon's walk and run for breast cancer awareness held last Oct 3, 2010 at SM Mall of Asia grounds. It consisted of 3k walk and 5k run. For the 3k walk, i simply purchased 2010 Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer shirt for Php149 for my husband, my niece and for me.
The event coincided with my mom's 70th birthday. While she didnt join us in this event, my husband , daughter and niece walked 3km to support this cause. My son preferred to "shoot" us.

The 5k run went ahead of the walk. As usual, the Kenyans won the male and female dash.



Before the walk started, there was a rather long entertainment number hosted by GMA7 Kapuso stars.



Arnold Clavio, Iza Calzado, Love Anover, Susan Enriquez, Lyn Ching were there to name a few. The US Ambassador , Avon president and Major Venus Raj graced the event as well.
The mini show was long enough to make us bore. Besides the sun was up and it was already hot past 7am. To kill boredom, we posed for several shots for souvenir.
So much for the show, the walk finally started at 720am amidst the white and pink confetti.



After walking for half km, i felt this urge to run. So we ended up walking and running throughout the course. My son took several shots of the TV stars while waiting for us at the finish line.

After completing the course, we headed for the parking lot. We did not attend any post race activities as it was already past our breakfast time. We ended at Goodah for a nice hot meal.

...Pasig River run is next on 10.10.10
