Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
The rest of the story.
The video may not make much sense to you because you may not know the people portrayed or the context. For two days, my girlfriend’s mother (a breast cancer survivor) and two of her sisters participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Charlotte, N.C.
Sterling surprised her Mom (who I had not met before this past weekend) by greeting her just before the finish line. I was able to share the moment because none of her family knew who I was or that I was capturing this on my Canon Vixia HF10.
As you may have noticed, I am an amateur. I have worked with pros like Jon Shuler and stole some of their techniques. In fact, I did not know I was going to make this video until we arrived at the finish line a few minutes early and had some time to kill…why not push record and see what happens?
Sterling’s Mom, like my own, is a survivor of breast cancer. This is a small tribute to those that get up and walk so that others may also become breast cancer survivors through prevention and early detection.
