SPRINGFIELD — Raising millions in Western Massachusetts over the years in support of breast cancer care, research, and education, the Rays of Hope Walk & Run Toward the Cure of Breast Cancer welcomed walkers, runners and their friends on Sunday to help find a cure. All money raised remains local to assist people and their families affected by breast cancer. Baystate Health Foundation administers the money, which support treatment, breast health programs, outreach and education, the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment through the Baystate Health Breast Network, as well as support for the Rays of Hope Center for Breast Cancer Research. Rays of Hope also provides grants to various community programs throughout the region that promote whole body wellness of survivors.
