Organiser's Description
Join us as we come together to raise awareness for Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) and provide financial support to a local family facing the overwhelming medical costs associated with managing this, stage 4 disease.
Our annual 5K Walk will be held on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH FROM 10:00 AM1:00 PM at SAM MICHAELS PARK IN HARPERS FERRY, WEST VIRGINIA. Registration opens at 9:00 AM. Every participant will receive a Paulas Path tshirt and an MBC ribbon pin, generously sponsored by our community partners.
Each year, 230,000 Americans are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 610% of those diagnoses are metastatic, or stage 4. In the summer of 2018, Paula Grant, a mother, friend, and beloved local business owner, became part of that statistic. Her 18month journey was marked by courage, love, and unforgettable moments. We honor Paulas legacy daily, and this walk stands as a tribute to her strength and to all who face MBC.
Paulas Path has raised more than $13,000 for families in need. This isnt just a dollar amount, its access to more time, relief in moments of uncertainty, and hope when its needed most.
Weve welcomed over 130 participants who have walked with purpose, championed our mission, and carried Paulas message far beyond the event itself. We are also deeply grateful for our generous sponsors, whose support continues every year.
Through heartfelt storytelling and powerful community engagement, our message has soared over 100,000 views across social media, spreading awareness, connection, and compassion to thousands.
This walk thrives because of the passion of individuals, volunteers, and sponsors. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful impact on families affected by metastatic breast cancer. If your business is interested in sponsoring our walk please email paulaspathinc@gmail.com.
We hope youll join us as we walk, Paulas Path.
Thank you sincerely for your support,
Melissa Grant | Founder of Paulas Path Inc.
