An update on last Saturday's Roosevelt Island Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) Walk from it's organizer, Roosevelt Island resident Vashti Livingston:

The BCAN(Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network) Bladder Cancer Awareness Day 5/7/2011 was great. 48 people participated and we raised about $5000 to date. Visitors came in from Florida, CT, NJ, and PA and New Yorkers who had never been to Roosevelt Island and were totally charmed by our unique part of New York.  Thanks to our sponsors ZFlow and Riverwalk Bar and Grill.

Did you know that this Saturday, May 7, is Bladder Cancer Awareness Day (BCAN)?

BCAN invites you, and everyone affected by bladder cancer, to celebrate Bladder Cancer Awareness Day on Saturday, May 7, 2011. People all across the country will be walking on May 7 to raise money for bladder cancer research and education and raise awareness. Please join us!

It’s easy to Walk for Bladder Cancer. You can walk by yourself, with friends and family, or with others in your community. One person can make a difference. Last year, BCAN volunteer David ran 16 miles by himself and raised over $2,500!...

If you would like to contribute to Bladder Cancer awareness, there will be a BCAN walk on Roosevelt Island this Saturday. According to one of the organizers of the Roosevelt Island BCAN walk:

Hi all. A reminder that this Sat May 7 is Bladder Cancer Awareness Day (BCAN) and there is a Walk on Roosevelt island starting at 10am at the Riverwalk Bar and Grill. For those or you who have not joined Team Family and Friends please do so and donate to the cause. For those who will be attending please assemble by 9.45am. ( I have to get the photo shoot releases signed). After the walk the team can have Brunch or refreshments at Riverwalk (this is optional).
