Have you ever done something so emotionally, physically and spiritually challenging that you know will change you forever?

I am participating in an event that will be all those things. I will be walking in the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day (Enumclaw to Seattle) August 9 – 11, 2002. 60 miles in 3 days.

I am walking for my friends at work who have bravely fought and so far won their battles with breast cancer. I am walking for my daughter Jamie, who just turned 5 yrs old, so that she doesn't have to worry about this cancer in her lifetime.

Would you sponsor me if I told you that somewhere in the United States someone is diagnosed with breast cancer every 3 minutes...and every 13 minutes breast cancer claims another life? What if I told you that right now there are over 1,000,000 women in the United States with undetected breast cancer? How about if I told you that 70% of those women have absolutely no risk factors for breast cancer. Would you sponsor me to help them find out early so they get to watch their children grow up?

Here is a chance for you to help to save lives. Real lives. Maybe your mother, your sister, your daughter, your friend, yourself. Not twenty years from now, but right now. The money collected goes to work within 2 –3 weeks; no waiting until the event is over in August! Visit the website at Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day for more information about the event.

While these are staggering facts, with frightening numbers - the good news is that this is a fight that we absolutely can do something about.
