Wonder Woman Walk - Photos by Melina Pizano - 09/18/16

The Wonder Woman Walk caught my attention last year not only because my favorite female superhero, Wonder Woman, was associated with the fundraiser, but more importantly it supported a cause close to my heart, breast cancer awareness. I wan't able to make it out to to the inaugural walk last year, but I couldn't be stopped from missing it this year. The Wonder Woman Walk was created in memory of Jessica M. Berman, a Pacific Palisades wife and mother of two, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34. Please take a moment to read about her courageous story here and consider donating to the Jessica Berman Foundation.
