Breast Cancer Walk

19th of October, Sunday

We went on a Breast Cancer walk this morning with the volleyball team. We met at the perking lot at Athena, and I got a ride from Dube's parents. There were a LOT of people. all dressed in pink, maybe with funny pink accesories. It was a mile walk in the downtown of Rochester. This was my first time there. The streets were closed and the mass of pink people took over the city. It was incredible, how people, complete strangers can support each other so much, just by walking alongside each other, for a cause they all believe in. I was thinking of my friends, who have struggled with sickness, but were brave to face it. It was also really fun, hanging out with my volleyball friends, despite the cold weather. I had to put my winter coat on, but luckily, it didn't rain or snow.
  I haven't attended a walk for anything. I've never heard of something like this in Hungary, we support foundations in a much different way. When we pay taxes, we can choose to give 1% of our taxes to a foundation that we pick. In the time that tax is due, the whole city of Budapest becomes full of billboards, asking for people's 1%. But maybe I've missed the advertisements for Breast Cancer walks.
  It was like an hour long, and then we went back home. Dube's parents dropped me off at the church, where Herb and Anne were (it's Sunday, so of course they're there). I sat in for the last 15 minutes, then we went home.
  We stayed at home the whole day. I took care of my homework, watched 22 Jump Street (it was super funny, but this annoying kind of humor not everybody appriciates. It was very much like 21 Jump Street). I even studied for maths. But I haven't talked to my parents. :( Maybe sometime when I'm at home, and they're still awake.
