"Sole" Work Provides Hope for Breast Cancer Cure
Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) June 15, 2008 -- The four-person team from Pima Medical Institute, 3770 Citadel Drive North in Colorado Springs received an unusual challenge when they signed up for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on June 28 and 29 in Keystone Resort in Summit County -- the promise of more money and another teammate.
Dick Luebke Jr., the CEO of the Colorado campus as well as eight additional Pima Medical Institute colleges throughout the west, said that if the team reached at least half of their goal of $1,800 per person, he would chip in the remaining half of their amount and join them on the 40-mile walk.
The PMI team of Roy Nevels, Jason Price, Karin Pippin and Kim Foley used their CEO's promise to generate pledges. A pink T-shirt with a cartoon caricature of Luebke and the message: I helped send Mr. Dick Luebke Jr. to Keystone, Colorado has been very popular with students, faculty and staff.
The destination walk will be divided into two days with a 26.2 walk on Saturday and 13.1 miles on Sunday. Although the distance and high altitude will be challenging, walkers will be treated to unparalleled views of the surrounding Rockies.
In addition to providing leading research teams in their fight for a cure for breast cancer, proceeds raised from the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer will be used to help medically-underserved women and men can get the medical care they need. Most of the money raised in Colorado will be used in the region, with a special emphasis on reaching low-income, elderly and minority individuals and those with inadequate health insurance.
"It is nearly impossible to talk to someone who has not lost a friend of family member to breast cancer," said Pippin, the Placement Assistant at PMI in Colorado Springs and Team Captain for the Pima Breast Supporters. "I'm very pleased to be involved in this effort. And for those who don't feel up to walking 40 miles, feel free to drop off a donation at our campus in Colorado Springs, or call me at 719-482-7462 for donation information. We still need help to reach our goal."
The Colorado Springs campus has programs for Dental Assistant, Medical Administrative Assistant, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy Technician and Veterinary Assistant.
PMI is one of the premier medical career colleges in the western United States. The privately owned, accredited school provides students with a well-rounded education embracing theoretical classroom studies, as well as on-site training in allied health facilities within the community. This gives the student the opportunity to function in a working environment.
PMI has been serving students since 1972, with campuses in: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Mesa and Tucson, AZ; Chula Vista, CA, Seattle and Renton, WA; Las Vegas, NV; as well as Colorado Springs and Denver. Additional information is available by calling their toll free number, 888-442-5998 or online at http://www.pmi.edu.
