Update: No more brick orders will be taken after 6/15/08. The brick walkway is almost done. The Northeastern Region has given $75,000 for breast cancer research through this project.

With the purchase of a brick on the Walk of Life!

• Join the fight against breast cancer;
• Share the vision and pave the way to a cure.

The first Walk of Life for breast cancer in the nation, sponsored by the Northeastern Region of Soroptimist International of the Americas is located at Walnut Hill Park, New Britain, CT. This location was chosen because it is the site of the Connecticut Race in the Park. There are many walkways in Walnut Hill Park but none more beautiful than the Walk of Life. The 780 foot brick walkway is a commemoration to breast cancer victims, survivors and their families. Some simply reveal a name, others a message.

Members of Soroptimist International of the Northeastern Region initiated the project in 1996 through the efforts of past Soroptimist Governor Rosemarie Burton, a breast cancer survivor herself.

The walkway, which is six feet wide, is located behind the park's Darius Miller music shell and follows the finish line for the Connecticut Race in the Park.

Area businesses and the bricklayers union have donated many of the services needed to complete the project.

Become one of more than 5,000 expressions of friendship, love and inspiration in the Walk of Life, under construction in New Britain's pastoral Walnut Hill Park.

Sponsored by Northeastern Region Soroptimist International.

All proceeds from this project will be directed to The Connecticut Breast Health Initiative, Inc.
