Teens plan Mother's Day walk against breast cancer

For the past five years, Reagan Tierney and Zoe Zabetian, Miramonte students, have planned an annual Walk Against Breast Cancer on Mother's Day to raise funds for the Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center. It is a breast health center in Oakland that was named after an Orinda resident who died from breast cancer. Her husband and grandchildren live in Orinda now.

The girls started the annual event in 2013 for a school project. At the time, Reagan's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is now a breast cancer survivor. Over the years anywhere from 150 to 250 walkers have participated. In total, the duo has raised more than $12,000.

This year, the walk will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on May 14, Mother's Day, at the St. Stephen's trail at Bates Boulevard. It is a drop-in, so walkers may arrive at any time during the time slot. The walk is flat, two miles long, and perfectly suitable for families. Noah's Bagels, Peet's Coffee, and Safeway donate refreshments. The girls are hoping to make this year our biggest walk yet
