12th Annual Pink Lady Walk 5K Race

Event Overview

Since 2014, Pink Lady Walk has hosted an annual 5K Race to raise awareness and provide direct financial support to individuals diagnosed with breast cancer. Our mission is simple: to help alleviate some of the financial burdens caused by this devastating disease.

Support for Survivors

Unlike many organizations that focus solely on research, Pink Lady Walk supports survivors and their families directly. Since our founding, we have assisted:

• 25 survivors: Breast cancer survivors receiving direct support.
• One child: A child with cancer supported in their journey.
• Hospice support: Assistance to Hospice of Limestone County (AL).
• Patient Assistance Fund: Support at The Southern Cancer Center in Huntsville (AL).
• Joy to Life Foundation: Assistance in Montgomery (AL).

Addressing Economic Hardship

Economic hardship is often an invisible part of the cancer journey—one that many families cannot overcome alone. Pink Lady Walk has become a beacon of hope for those facing both breast cancer and financial crisis. Through our three direct programs:

• Recipient Direct: Direct assistance to individuals in need.
• Bill Direct: Helping families manage medical expenses.
• Pharmacy Direct: Providing support for medication costs.

Our Commitment

We are committed to continuing this work. Pink Lady Walk welcomes donations and sponsorships from individuals, businesses, and organizations to continue providing immediate, meaningful assistance to those affected by breast cancer.

Thank You

Thank you for showing up for this mission and for the families we serve.
