As Pinktober draws to a close, Cancer Support Virgin Islands invites the public to join Walk in Faith, a community event dedicated to hope, healing, and unity among all faiths and those touched by cancer, the organization announced in a press release.
The walk begins at 6:30 a.m. Saturday, starting at the Charlotte Kimmelman Cancer Institute. Participants will gather to walk together in reflection and encouragement, celebrating life and honoring those impacted by cancer, according to the press release.
Now in its fourth year, Walk in Faith has become a unifying tradition across the Virgin Islands, bringing residents together in compassion and solidarity. The event welcomes anyone, whether walking in memory of a loved one, celebrating survivorship, or standing in support of others affected by cancer, the press release stated.
Sponsored by Living Hope Cathedral and St. Thomas Reformed Church, both known for their commitment to community service and spiritual care, the event continues to embody the strength and empathy of the Virgin Islands community, the release stated.
“For me, the Walk in Faith event translates to a community coming together in spirit, seeking a breakthrough for those impacted by cancer,” said Anique Harrigan, Cancer Support VI Patient Advocate and event organizer.
Participation is free and open to all. Attendees are encouraged to wear pink in honor of Pinktober and join this meaningful morning of reflection and unity.
