Ive played ac for over 3 years now. Its a wonderful hobbie and Ive meet alot of great people. Im currently seeking your help and any amount will help.
This year, an estimated 40,000 women will die from the disease. Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? I didn't, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has become in this country. So shocked, in fact, that I've committed to doing something about it, and I'm writing to ask for your help.
On June 28-29, I'll spend the weekend walking, along with thousands of other people, in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I will walk at least the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles), and I may choose to walk as far as a marathon and a half. Either way, it's a very long walk.
I'll have to spend the next few months training, fundraising, and
preparing for the event. It's the biggest challenge I've ever taken on, but I'm very excited about doing it because I know it will make a real difference to the millions of people affected by breast cancer.
The money raised goes to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, a 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to provide access to care and to work toward finding a cure. They provide funding to organizations all over the country in five areas: medical research, clinical care, support services, educational and advocacy seminars,; and community-based, non-profit early detection breast health programs. Much of the money raised will stay right here to help people in our city.
I'm required to raise at least $1,750 to participate. Please help to support me and the breast cancer cause by making a generous contribution to my efforts. You can make your donation online and even spread it out into monthly payments - by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message, which will bring you right to my personal page. Please remember as you're making your donation that in lessthan the time it took to read this e-mail, another woman in the U.S. was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Thank you for you support.
