Call me Crazy. When i haven't yet even completed my 2 day walk for breast cancer, i've signed up to walk and co-captain a cancer walk team.

I am taking part in the NSMC Cancer WALK 2004 on Sunday, June 13, 2004 to raise money for NSMC Foundation and would welcome your support.

The North Shore Medical Center is based in Salem, Ma. and deals with all kinds of cancer.

The Northshore Medical Center Cancer Walk is a 6K walk on June 13th, 2004. I will be walking this in memory of my father(Albert) and Uncle (Edward) who both died on Lung Cancer. Along with 200 other employees of my company and some thousand of Other walkers we WILL be helping the NSMC buy necessary equipment and provide Counseling for the families of those stricken with cancer as well as counseling for those dedicate staff members at NSMC who deal with cancer patients on a daily basis.




You can donate online by credit or debit card at the following address:

http://www.justgiving.com/PFP/forranteic

All online payments are secure, sent electronically to NSMC Foundation and are tax deductible. Please join me in supporting Nancy and a fabulous cause!


*p.s. those of you who have donated to my AVON cancer walk please--do not feel like you need to donate to both of them, although i'd really appreciate it :-)

my dd is the captain of a 'relay for life' team which is also june 13 for 24 hours. she has lined up 12 people for her team and each had to commit to finding at least 100 dollars in donations. dd has 127 dollars so far from a 'coin can' at dad's work and from selling 'luminarias--paper bags with messages from the donor about the loss or recovery of a loved one; they will have lighted candles in them and be placed around the track where the volunteers walk for 24 hours in shifts.
good luck with your drive, nancy. seems we are all going for the same thing; fighting cancer.

Nancy... i will gladly give to this cause. My uncle just passed away from a blastoma of the brain (don'r know what part). Actually... he kicked that part, but he ended up passing from some weird stomach thing -- who knows??? I'm personally waiting for the autopsy report (if they do one) to find out.

Either way... it's a great cause and I will be donating on Friday!

i am participating in our relay for life here in town with a team from work. our is on may 14th - 15th. ours is only 15 hours though, instead of 24. it is from 7pm to 10 am. i have only raised $40 so far. i just don't like asking people for money, even though it's for a good cause. that being said, i will probably foot the remaining $60. my dad died of lung cancer 5 years ago jan. 10th, and a very close teacher (second mom) i had in high school died of breast cancer 7 years ago in may. it's definitely a good cause.

NOW i know why i walk--

for those that cannot...

was sent this from the woman who helped with my training for the avon walk.....

Dear friends,

I send this to you today as a tribute to my friend, Christine Bridges, who lost her very short battle with cancer today. Live, love, sing and dance.....for life is WAAAAAYYYYYY to short. Chris had a very agressive cancer which was discovered only 7 months ago. She had chemo and a bone marrow transplant. The cancer was cured, but the fierce treatment took her life. She leaves a husband and 5 dear children. Please pray for them. Thanks and my love to all.
