Huskers Help Make Strides Against Breast Cancer

Lincoln - The Nebraska softball team joined nearly 3,000 participants in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Holmes Lake on Sunday, Oct. 23. Every member of the team and coaching staff participated in the walk, which raised nearly $100,000 for the American Cancer Society.

The walk is one of many community outreach activities that the softball program participates in throughout the year. The softball program is particularly active in breast cancer awareness events, hosting an awareness event at Bowlin Stadium last year, when the team wore pink uniforms.

Head Coach Rhonda Revelle said the walk provided a memorable experience for her team.

"The Making Strides Walk was a wonderful experience for our team," Revelle said. "To be among so many survivors and family members whose lives have been changed because of a loved one having cancer made a huge impact on all of us. It was an inspiring day...one we all felt blessed to be a part of."
