It would be wonderful if the only reason I walked was for exercise, but until there is a cure for breast cancer, I will continue to walk to raise awareness and money to combat this terrible disease. Last year your generosity helped me raise $6,662 for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and $940 for God's Love We Deliver. I have signed up to walk in the NY 2008 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and crew in Boston in 2008. I want to see what the walk looks like from the other side. The crew members really make all the difference, the cheering for the walkers as they go by, preparing meals, directing traffic, just to name a few things. I'm going to need everyone's help to beat my total from last year. Click here to make a secure online donation to my NY Avon Walk 2008. Read my blog for updates on training and fundraising.

HAND MADE HATS HELP WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER |

I started knitting over Christmas 2007. My mom was recovering from heart surgery and was becoming bored with bed rest. I purchased knitting needles and wool and had her teach me how to knit. It became an addiction. I need to raise $1,800 to walk again this year and decided to sell the hats to help raise funds. I only subtract the cost of the wool, the rest of the money goes towards the walk. You can purchase the hats through my store on Etsy.com.

IN MEMORY OF MY GRANDMOTHER |
|
In the late 1970's, my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. At that time, treatment options were
very limited. She was able to bravely fight the disease for a short time with the aid of strong pain killers. I am walking in her memory and with the hope a cure can be found soon so others will be able to have their grandmother around to cry at their wedding. |
WHY AM I WALKING ? |
|
For a friend who died at age 36 of breast cancer. For my maternal grandmother who died of breast cancer. For 2 friends who were diagnosed with breast cancer and are survivors. For numerous colleagues who were diagnosed with breast cancer. So no one else will have to hear "You have cancer". |
