Training log for Avon Walk for Breast Cancer 2008
Follow along as I train for the Avon Walk 2008 in New York. I will be updating this information periodically, so check back to see my progress.
Going through withdrawals
Having recently completed the 39 mile Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, I find myself going through withdrawal.
While working with the Avon Foundation, I had the opportunity to visit God’s Love We Deliver (GLWD) and see their facility in NY city. I was very impressed with their commitment to providing warm, nourishing meals to people with serious illnesses.

Currently, 10% of the people who receive meals from GWLD are women fighting breast cancer. Undergoing surgery, chemo and radiation is challenging enough. Going shopping and preparing food to maintain one’s health can be very difficult. That’s where GLWD comes in. They provide 2 hot meals a day - 5 days a week.
I am participating in their 4 mile run/walk event in Central Park on November 18, 2007.
I hope that you will consider supporting this worthwhile cause. Click this link to sponsor me http://www.racetodeliver.org/2007/amberstang
