Flock Cancer! It’s kind of my new motto. Plus, it’s the name of a new Boise event. The “Flock Cancer Pink Street Stroll” for breast cancer survivors and families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a recent breast cancer survivo<\/a>r I was so excited to hear that someone had stepped up and created a walk for Boise. This person is Leslie Scantling. As a fourth-generation breast cancer survivor, she took it upon herself to fill a void left in the wake of Susan G Komen’s shutdown. For years, the Komen walk provided Treasure Valley survivors and families with a celebratory event. It was a place where family traditions were made and survivors could celebrate their breast cancer wins. As a fourth-generation breast cancer survivor, Leslie and her survivor mother, were feeling the loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leslie took it upon herself to create a walk for fellow survivors. As a resident of Harrison Boulevard, she thought there would be no better place than home to hold the walk. A number of her neighbors came on board and she started getting the word out to the surrounding community. Leslie started by creating an event on Facebook and inviting her friends. Before she knew it, she had local television and radio stations picking up the story. The word was getting out. People were offering to volunteer and some local businesses donated money, time, and goods to the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
