As many of you know, cancer has hit very close to home over the years through family and friends. I want to do this walk for awareness and a cure, but it is also part of my healing process.  In this last year, I lost my dear friend Ann who fought this battle for over 20 years and then both my sister (Denise) and close friend (Tracey) were both diagnosed with breast cancer.  My mother in law Irene was diagnosed at the same time Ann was and they started on their journey together.  There have been so many amazing women close to me that have been through this process and through this I truly appreciate the importance for early diagnosis. We are walking in solidarity and it won’t be easy, but that’s why it's worth it. From now until AVON 39 weekend, I’ll train to strengthen my body to walk over 39 miles in two days. I’ll also be raising funds to crush breast cancer. This is where you come in.

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 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.
