Hello
there! I have less than 30 days left to reach my personal fundraising
goal for the Susan G Komen 3 Day for the Cure! You can help more than
you know by supporting my efforts, and in exchange... I will do the
walking for you! 60 miles over 3 days... whew! Training is gearing
up... 18 miles this Saturday. We will be the one's in pink! When you
see us out walking... Honk your horn, wave, and show us your
encouraging smiles! See donation links at bottom of this letter to donate on line or by mail~thanks!
One
woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes in the U.S.,
and somewhere in the world every 19 seconds. And every 74 seconds ~
someone dies from breast cancer. That is why I am walking and
fundraising for the 3-Day. I will join thousands of walkers and crew
members in the Susan G. Komen Seattle 3-Day. I am walking 60 miles
over three days to demonstrate my determination in finding a cure for
breast cancer. Because everyone deserves a lifetime. Chances are
that you know someone who has been affected by breast cancer in their
lifetime. Consider your donation as a powerful tribute to them. Every
mother, every aunt, every sister, every daughter deserves a life
without breast cancer.
I
served as a crew member on the (Judy Kent) 3-Day kitchen crew, giving
my all in service to the walkers for three days. The work I did
supported thousands of dedicated walkers and required that I rose
before dawn, and worked late into the evenings – I actually loved
the two nights in a pink tent! It was an amazing experience each year
getting to know the survivors and meeting many wonderful women and
men whose lives were all touched in some way by breast cancer. I too
have family and friends who have battled breast cancer and other
cancers.
I
had been on training walks with the Olympia/Lacey team of Hello
Cupcakes each season, but remained a kitchen crew member ~ and loved
every minute! Everyone on the Hello Cupcake team has a “Cake”
name; and last year while training with them, I was asked why I
continued to train if I was going to be a crew member? When I
explained that I loved to just soak in all the inspiration from their
encouraging stories of struggle and survival and determination... I
was named “Sponge Cake” and decided right then that the next year
I wanted to do more! Well, it's next year! Although my summer was
filled with much busyness with a total of 3 family graduations and my
son's wedding... I recently managed to get my 2012 training and
fundraising underway.
I
am raising a minimum of $2300 in donations. I had a huge yard sale
and raised $175 in sales/donations and have another planned for
Sept.1st. This cause is very important to me, and with my
determination and your support too, I know that I can do this!
Susan
G. Komen™ works hard to build a future without breast cancer, and
my goal is to help bring us closer to that goal. Net proceeds support
ground breaking research and scientific programs as well as grants
fro education, screening and treatment programs at both the national
and local level. No breast cancer organization provides more support
than Komen. Millions of women rely on Komen everyday. Please consider
matching my $60 donation today, or out give me! You can donate at
The3Day.org ~ under my name, or by using my personalized enclosed
donation form ~ in any amount that works for you. No donation is too
big – or too small.
