WALK4PINK!

WALK4PINK will take place June 5th at the Jewish Community Center in Middlesex County

By Sarah Doheny
 What began so simply by Janna Zuckerman whom at the age of 12 started the Edison, N.J. walk out of grief for a loved member of the community. Janna knew she needed to do something and wished to celebrate the life of Michelle Offsie who was a much loved community member .
Her  willingness became evident when she  devoted a Bat Mitzvah project, this was her way of bringing awareness to women in her community to support, research, receive mammograms and engage  the youth of her town in philanthropy.
Her commitment has never waned throughout high school and during her summer vacations, her  commitment   since the first walk, where a few hundred members of the community came out in  support of her  mission. and today as a Senior at Towson University she continues fundraising as the founding member of a thriving breast cancer group known affectionately as Towson Goes Pink.
Today we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Michelle Offsie Memorial Walk .
