  • The net proceeds from the event will support non-profit breast health programs in every region of the country, and cutting-edge medical research on women's diseases at leading academic institutions.
  • A key part of my participation in this event is that I've agreed to raise at least $1800 in pledges before the event. In order to meet that goal, I will need your help. Please keep in mind how far I will be walking– and how hard I will be training for the Avon Breast Cancer 3-day between now and May.
  • One out of every nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her life time. Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for all women, and the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55. Both its cause and the means to a cure remain a mystery, although the disease can be successfully treated if caught early. Currently, one million women in the United States have the disease, but don't know it. Many will not know about their potentially fatal illness for another five to eight years.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity
