My name is Amanda Johnstone, and I am once again participating in the Avon 39 Walk to End Breast Cancer! I am too young to walk, but I am on the Avon Youth Crew to support and cheer on the Walkers in Santa Barbara! I am required to raise $500, but my goal is to raise at least $1,500 -- proceeds of which will go to nonprofit organizations working to treat and cure breast cancer. These organiziations conduct research, educate, improve care, and offer critical support and services to breast cancer patients.
The reason I am doing the Avon 39 Youth Crew this year is for a close friend of mine. She is a Walker with my mum on the Walkers For Knockers team. She has suffered from pancreatic cancer, but she is well on the way to recovering! Last year, I participated for my mum's friend who lost her battle with breast cancer. Yes, she is still in my memories and I am doing this for her, as well.
But most of all, I am participating on Avon 39's Youth Crew for everyone who has been impacted by breast cancer and needs our support. I sincerely thank you for your generosity in contributing to my fundraising!
