This fact is even more crucial among minority women communities due to the high death rate for minority women.

Mission Possible-Warriors
Sister2Sister, Inc. (S2S) expands their vision to serve and support GirlTrek. They are leading by example by
supporting, inspiring, and encouraging Black women to live their lives healthier and inspiring healthier communities by walking.
S2S has joined Mission Possible Somerset GirlTrek Team, spearheaded by Ms. Debe Davis, a Health and Wellness Professional.
S2S is the Mission Possible-Warriors and the team is spearheaded by a breast cancer survivor.
S2S look to ensure that women impacted by breast cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened their bodies by action and are sustained
by community support. Valerie Mathis-Leake being a breast cancer survivor, walks daily because being active and walking is thought to reduce cancer risk largely
by improving energy metabolism and reducing circulating concentrations of estrogen, insulin, and insulin-like growth factors.
Mission Possible-Warriors invite all women of color to join the team. We walk 3 or 5 miles every Saturday morning at 7:00 AM in Johnson Park,
1281 River Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854.
To join, please contact Dorothy Reed at s2s@sncnj.org and you will receive detail information.
