1st Annual Reign Over Cancer Walk<br />
Postponed Until <strong>February</strong> 25, <strong>2018</strong><br />
Due to the massive flooding the Katy community experienced as a result of<br />
Hurricane Harvey and the continued efforts to recover from the devastation<br />
it caused, the Reign Over Cancer (“ROC”) Walk has been postponed until<br />
Sunday, <strong>February</strong> 25, <strong>2018</strong>. The walk will be held at Cane Island and will<br />
begin at 2 PM. Plan to stick around after the walk to enjoy complimentary<br />
food and beverages, music and family-friendly activities.<br />
The ROC Walk will recognize people in the community currently<br />
undergoing cancer treatment, highlight survivors and raise money to<br />
fund GEST Foundation grants. Register as an individual or a team online<br />
at www.GESTfoundation.org. Proceeds from the ROC Walk will provide<br />
grants for services including grocery delivery, home cleaning, home<br />
wound care, transportation or even counseling to help with the internal<br />
wounds that come with facing the news “you have cancer.” The walk will<br />
be fun for ALL ages, so grab your family and friends and join us at the<br />
beautiful Cane Island for an afternoon of fun while raising money for a<br />
very important cause.<br />
Registration for the ROC Walk is still open and we encourage everyone to<br />
sign up! Register now at www.GESTFoundation.org. For up to the minute<br />
