Heaven Can Wait Huge Success

Thousands turned out Sunday for the 12th Annual "Heaven Can Wait" Walk and Run to fight breast cancer. Breast cancer survivor and race founder, Charlene Lavesque says it was a sea of pink: “Everybody wants to be a part of this, from sponsors, participants, volunteers. We never have problems getting volunteers; they just show up.” The first year, 250 showed up. This year more than 4000 are running and walking for a cure. Over the last twelve years, $750,000 has been raised. The proceeds go to Sara's Project, a program that funds cancer research and provides free mammograms and breast health education.
