As you may know, I have accepted the challenge for the third year in a row, to participate in the 2009 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. This is a two-day, 39 mile journey throughout D.C. during the first weekend in May 2009. I am going to attempt to do the entire 39-miles.
I lost my grandmother to cancer on the eve of last year’s Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. So this time around, this event means that much more to me. Every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. This is very sad news to me.
I am now ready to get started with my fundraising and I need your support! I have pledged to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as part of my participation in the walk.
Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message.
Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you for your support; you really do make a difference. Feel free to pass this email over to those who would be interested in donating.
