Spreading Breast Cancer Awareness at Ferguson

On October 22nd, John A. Ferguson held a Breast Cancer Awareness walkout to raise awareness for Breast Cancer on Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The event costed 10 dollars to participate in, and students were tasked with walking around the track field four times in unison while sporting the appropriate breast cancer shirts handed out by the school, making sure to spread the message of breast cancer. Now we move onto the participants of the event itself, and take a look on their output.

Caleb Franco, one of the students who went to the Breast Cancer walkout, described the event as “empowering” and “a progressive step to a future where any sort of cancer isn’t downplayed or overlooked whatsoever.” Another student, Richard Batista, says that “Walking around with all these other schoolmates in support of the same cause really made me feel a
strong sense of community here at Ferguson.” With that stated, the movement also attracted plenty of traction online through the Ferguson Instagram page and the Ferguson News Instagram page respectively.

So even if some students didn’t attend the walkout in person, they could see their fellow classmates united and still spread awareness through shares and reposts. The event was a morally profitable success, boosting spirits and awareness as a great myriad of students attended the walkout in support of spreading awareness to this horrible cancer. With spirits and enthusiasm so high, we can hope this positivity and high hopes spreads contagiously to everyone in our progressive community.
