Thanks for visiting my Avon Walk page!

 As some of you know, in 2013 my mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  It was a diagnosis we never expected to hear!  She had a mastectomy of her breast and started chemotherapy.  She had a VERY hard time with the treatments!  This was not an easy fight for her.  She was hospitalized in February of 2014 and ended up in ICU for about 2 months.  We almost lost her many times but she was a fighter!!!!  After many months in the hospital and a couple of rehabilitation centers she was able to come home!  It was a day we never thought we would see!  It was a very long road but today she is BACK.   

I am doing this walk in her honor and to give back.  Because of all the wonderful doctors and caring health care professionals we are able to have my mom still with us!   The care and support she received and the compassion they showed my family is beyond words!  It is an experience I never want to live through again but our outcome is a miracle.... there are many stories out there that do not have the ending we did.....   Please help me raise the money to end this horrible disease and to make everyone’s outcome as wonderful as ours!!

I've committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It's a big commitment, one that will require me to spend the next several months training and fundraising. But breast cancer is a big disease, one that still affects far too many people, and I'm determined to do everything I can to help put an end to it.

The money I raise will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade to help provide access to care for those who most need it, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures. I'll be just one of thousands of people who will walk up to 39.3 miles over two days, raising awareness promoting education. 

I can't do it without your help. Though I'm required to raise at least $1,800 to walk in the event, I plan to raise much more! I hope that I can count on your support.

You can make a donation right here on the website by clicking the "Donate Now" button on this page. If you prefer to write a check, please contact me, and I'll send you the information and form.

As I prepare for this exciting event, I plan to update this page frequently so that all my supporters like you can follow my progress, so please visit often. While you're here, you might want to spend some time on the site to find out more information on why this event is so important, and the organizations and people that will be helped by the money we all raise. 

Thank you in advance.
