Dear Friends and Family,

I've made the decision to crush breast cancer by once again participating in AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer in Santa Barbara.  Like last year it will be two days and 39 miles of sore muscles and blisters, but I'm ready to take on the challenge!

Part of earning my 39 is fundraising $1,800 – a critical part of this challenge that requires me to face my fears about asking for donations. The money raised through the AVON 39 goes to fund important research and community programs both locally and nationally. This is about saving lives, and I'm ready to do my part.

I started this journey to do a one time thing with a friend.  But the inspiration I got last year from fellow walkers - so many of them surviviors or family members of surviviors and angels, was unforgettable.  And the more I learn, like that ONE IN EIGHT WOMEN will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer makes me unable to stop walking.

To make a donation, click the included link to my personal fundraising page. It's quick, easy and secure to donate online.

Thank you for helping me by giving what you can.  Every dollar gets me closer to my goal!

I’m walking with thousands of other 39ers. We’re banding together in solidarity and have one goal: to take breast cancer down. So many sisters and mothers and friends have been lost. We see a world without breast cancer for our daughters and nieces. AVON 39 is a force of change that can’t be stopped. By supporting me with a donation, you’re part of it.
