On May 15-16, 2004, I'll spend the weekend walking, along with thousands of other people, in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Boston. 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 finding a cure for breast cancer. They provide funding to organizations all over the country for medical research, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services, all with a focus on the medically underserved.

I'm required to raise at least $1,800 to participate, but I'm setting my goal even higher, and I plan to raise as much money as I can. Please help to support me and the breast cancer cause by making a generous contribution to my efforts. You can make your donation online 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 less than the time it took to read this e-mail, another woman in the U.S. was diagnosed with breast cancer.

You can also help me by passing this message along to others who may be interested in being a part of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.



Thank you for your support.

Thanks!!

Nancy

Donated! Thank you so much for doing this! If it's not too much to ask, could you please carry "In honor of Nellie Reed" with you? She is my Aunt who died of Breast Cancer.

Just a thought because i know a few people have voiced a concern about using the internet(credit card) to pay--If you prefer to send a check you can make it out to "avon walk for breast cancer"

and email me and i'll give you my address to mail me the check and/or i'll mail YOU a form to fill out and mail yourself...

email is in my profile(i think i have to check that LOL)

Thanks..its a huge undertaking for sure--and i'm glad they've shortened it to 2 days(40 miles) i doubt i'd make the 3 day walk even tho i AM 60 lbs lighter than 2 years ago :)

Nancy, would you please wear my aunt's name? It's Rosemary. We lost her in 1977 and I would really appreciate it. Do I need to go back on your site and put that beside the donation? Or does it matter?

Hi Nancy,

You are participating in a wonderful event! I've just made a donation for your efforts. If you can, please honor my friend Teri as she is a breast cancer survivor and it's truly a miracle that she is still here today after all she's gone through. Thank you!

Nancy, thanks for doing this!

Do you have room to wear another name? Coincidentally, Herckle's mom has the same first name as one of my favorite aunts.. Phyllis, also a survivor.

Nancy, I'd like to ask that you add a name for your walk. I asked you to honor my friend Teri who is a breast CA survivor. Well today Teri called to tell me that her older sister Gayle (who also is a breast CA survivor) has just learned that the cancer has metastasized to her brain. Teri has flown to Colorado to be with her sister all next week as Gayle goes through her first dosing of Chemotherapy to begin her journey to win the battle. Thank you.
