I am participating in AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer. We have created a team called The A-Team in honor of our friend, Ann Mizes who courageously battled breast cancer for nearly 20 years.
Last summer, less than 2 weeks after losing Ann, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The news was shocking and scary, but the unfortunate timing of it was possibly the most difficult blow. Armed with the most supportive family, friends and workplace, I was ready to face the battle. I was extremely lucky because it was caught early and literally everything went in my favor. I am painfully aware that this is not the case for so many. Three amazing doctors, two surgeries and a round of radiation later, I am back to normal life and even completed a half marathon with my husband in November!
I am required to raise at least $1,800 to EARN MY 39, but I plan to raise much, much more! I hope that I can count on your support!
You can make a donation right here on my webpage by clicking the "Donate Now" button to the right. If you prefer to write a check, click the “Donate By Mail” button and follow the instructions on the form.
Your donations will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. The dollars you pledge will put food on the table of a breast cancer patient and her family. They will enable access to mammograms and medicine, fuel research, and save lives. Need any more reason to click that Donate Now button?
I’m walking with my team and thousands of other 39ers. We’re banding together in solidarity and have one goal: to take breast cancer down. Everyone on this team has been touched by breast cancer, not only through Ann, but through other friends and family members as well. We hope we can count on your support!
