October is one of our favorite months, not just because of the candy-crazed Halloween holiday, but also because it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Across the country, October has become synonymous with all things pink, and the crisp fall weather is perfect for all of the walks and runs that happen in honor of those who have battled this ruthless disease. The Lehigh Valley has our own event, the Women's 5K Classic, a local walk and run that has been going strong for almost two decades, raising funds for programs benefiting female cancer research and education in the region.
