Eight years ago on February 29, 2008 (Leap Day), my mom lost her battle to breast cancer and passed away at the age of 50. Not a day goes by that I do not think about my mom and wish that she could be here. This year is a leap-year which makes it a special year for me and my family. Becuase of this special year, I have decided to walk in my 3rd Avon Breast Cancer walk and raise money to support finding a cure for Breast Cancer. I participated in the walk in both 2010 and 2012 and am excited to take it on for the third time...and this time in the city of Boston!
On July 9-10, I will fight through the blisters and pain and trek 39.3 miles through Boston and surrounding areas. I will be walking in memory of my mom, Denise Hruskocy, in honor of my Aunt Carole Hruskocy, and everyone else who has been affected by this terrible disease.
To walk in the Avon walk, I am required to raise at least $1,800, but I plan to raise much, much more! You can make a donation right here on my webpage by clicking the "Donate Now" button to the right. Your donations will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation. They will enable access to mammograms and medicine, fuel research, and save lives. Any size donation makes a difference!
Thank you in advance for your support! Please pass this link along to any friends or family that would be interested in donating.
Thank you!
