Children/Youth Connection

Children are an important part of our Race and there was lots of fun to be had in the Visteon Children's Area. The Visteon Children's Area provides an opportunity to educate families about breast cancer in a non-threatening, positive environment. Often, when someone is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family may be experiencing fear, anger and other strong emotions. This may be the first time a child has seen the family in a sad and stressful situation. Children often feel they have to "fix it" or "help," and may internalize their own fears and confusion. The Visteon Children's Area has been developed to promote positive education about breast cancer, fitness and fun. Families enjoyed activities and picked up goodies for the little ones, all while visiting with some surprise guests.
