West Virginia Woman Walks For Cancer
Young healthy people would have a hard time walking for 3 days straight — but that didn’t stop Sharone Jones from doing it. Last year Sharone walked for 3 days and 60 miles in order to raise money for breast cancer. To make this feat even more amazing, Jones was going through chemotherapy while doing the walk. Everyone participating in the walk raised $2,200 and went through many months of training. Jones found out about her breast cancer a few days before her wedding. “It was a real rollercoaster story,” she said. “I was ready to start a new life with a new husband, and here I was worried about my future as well as his. It was the unknown.” In hard times the strong get stronger and because of it Jones has helped raise awareness and help others with the same problem.
