The Sacred Heart women's lacrosse team woke up on Sunday, October 15th and instead of grabbing their lacrosse sticks and heading to the practice field they laced up their running shoes and headed down to Captian's Cove in Bridgeport for the Sikorsky Swim Across the Sound Cancer Walk/Run.
The Pioneers completed a four-mile walk over a scenic route that began and eded at Captain's Cove in Bridgeport while winding through St. Mary's by the Sea.
The team completed the four-mile trek and in the process raised $500 toward supporting Swim Across the Sound's 34 cancer education, screening, prevention,and support programs. The Walk drew approximately 1,000 walkers last year and raised $92,000.
The Walk also provided some fun to all that attended, including music, food and prizes.
"This is a great cause and one that our team is proud to get behind," stated head coach Laura Cook.
