MineSight-Tucson again finished among the top 10 fundraising teams at the annual Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk in Tucson earlier this month. More than 3,000 walkers descended on Kino Sports Park Complex, Oct. 12. Together they raised almost $200,000 towards the fight against breast cancer.
MineSight’s contribution of $4,613 is the highest total raised by the Tucson team to date and ranked the company 10th out of 334 teams. Participants included Marta Berry, Becky Egly and her husband Oscar, Deb St. Aubin, Mary James, Laura Hearron, Laura’s sister, brother-in-law and three children, David Thompson and family, and Matt Thorndal and family.
Team MineSight raised an unprecedented $4,613, good for a 10th-place finish among 334 teams.
Missing this year was team organizer, MineSight accountant, Lani Pannell.
“Marta Berry was our co-captain and was instrumental with organizing,” said Lani. “Marta was at the walk, taking care of business.”
Lani has been either a team captain and/or participant since the very first walk in 2002. She is a cancer survivor and counts several breast cancer survivors as friends.
“That’s what makes this walk special to me. I’ve always wanted to be involved in some way to help make a difference.”
Deb St. Aubin ensured that Lani was there in spirit, by creating Lani signs for participants to carry.
“Thanks to everyone who participated in the walk, and for the very generous donations,” said Lani.
Donations continue to be accepted here.
