When I heard that one in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer, I thought about people I know and if any of them had been diagnosed. I realized that I have a good friend who lost his mom, a cousin who lost her mother-in-law, and a friend Vicki who is a breast cancer SURVIVOR!! All of these people in my life have been affected by breast cancer. I don't have a lot of money, and I can't find a cure for cancer, but I found out that there was something that I could do. I'm walking in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Breast Cancer 3-Day November 7-9, 2008. It's a three-day, 60-mile (yes, SIXTY-MILE) walk that raises funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. The walk was begun because everyone deserves a lifetime. Every mother, every sister, every daughter, every family member male or female deserves to know a life free from breast cancer. It's going to be tough to fit fundraising and training into my busy schedule, but I know I can do it. I'm going to raise $5000.00 for the cause. Here's where you come in. You can support me by making a donation. Follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a donation. If you don't want to give online, you can download and print a donation form from that page to send in a donation via mail. (To my international friends, the mail-in form doesn't apply to you, only the on-line option.) Thank you for your support. I'd appreciate it if you could make your donation by September 1, 2008, so I'll have plenty of time to reach my goal. I'll keep you updated on my progress as I fundraise and train - and send you a picture of me on the finish line! Check my personal page for my blog about this experience! Thanks so much for all the love, help and support!! Mylynka Click here to visit my personal page.
