One of nine “Warriors in Pink” quilts was presented to the facility Tuesday by the Neighborhood Ford Store – an organization of 86 Ford dealers in the tri-state region. The group supports the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer awareness organization. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Jim Robinson, dealer of Jim Robinson Ford-Lincoln-Mercury Inc. at The Highlands, said 30,000 people usually show up for the annual “Race for the Cure” run near Pittsburgh that is sponsored by the Neighborhood Ford Store. This led organizers this year to ask participants to bring with them pink quilt patches in support of breast cancer awareness. Volunteers then stitched the patches into nine quilts – five of which were distributed to hospitals in the region that have breast cancer units. Those present at Wheeling Hospital Tuesday found the quilt to be striking and inspiring. Sources: http://www.n
