I’ve spent too much time watching people I love suffer and have decided to take on a challenge to do my part to find a cure. On October 30-November 1, I’ll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with me. It’s for an event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. They are working hard to build a future without breast cancer, and I plan on raising $5,000.00 to help bring us closer to that goal.

Please consider making a donation of $50. If you can’t give this amount all at once, you can spread it out over four months, using the payment plan option, if you donate online at http://www.tinyurl.com/nagt2t. Please also ask your employer if they will double your donation with a matching gift.

Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s why I’m walking in the 3-Day. To make a donation, go to http://www.the3day.org/. Click on Donate Now.

I would like to reach my fundraising goal by August 31, so don’t delay!
