Welcome, and thank you for visiting our Team BellaDonna AVON 39 page! We are in the home stretch, with less than a month to go until the July 9-10 Boston marathon and a half!!!
We all know that there's strength in numbers, so it’s with great strength that we are working and walking toward putting an end to the suffering caused by breast cancer. We each have our reasons for participating - - whether it’s a personal fight with breast cancer, the struggle or loss of a loved one, or a deep commitment to the cause.
We've each made a big commitment. We’ll spend the next month training to prepare for a walk of up to a marathon and a half. Each team member is required to raise at least $1,800 in donations. But because we're in this together, we know that, with your help, we can do it.
Please support our team. We have achieved so much through our collabroation - over $360,000 raised by our group in the past 12 years! You can make a donation to any team member by clicking on their name, and you’ll be taken to their personal page. Please note that some of our individual members need your support in stretching towards their $1800 minimum.
Please check back here frequently to see how we're doing. Check our Facebook and website for our event information www.teambelladonna.weebly.com.
Thanks in advance for your support! - Team BellaDonna
