Thanks for visiting my Avon Walk page. This year the walk has more meaning than usual. One of my cousins is currently going through treatment. I am so proud that with your help over the last 8 years we have been able to raise almost $24,000 for research and treatment!
I've committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It's a big commitment, one that will require me to spend the next several months training and fundraising. But breast cancer is a big disease, one that still affects far too many people, and I'm determined to do everything I can to help put an end to it.
The money I raise will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade to help provide access to care for those who most need it, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures. I'll be just one of thousands of people who will walk up to 39.3 miles over two days, raising awareness promoting education.
I can't do it without your help. Though I'm required to raise at least $1,800 to walk in the event, since I am walking for my 3rd year in a row I hope to raise much more! I hope that I can count on your support.
You can make a donation right here on the website by clicking the "Donate Now" button on this page. If you prefer to write a check, please contact me, and I'll send you the information and form.
As I prepare for this exciting event, I plan to update this page frequently so that all my supporters like you can follow my progress, so please visit often. While you're here, you might want to spend some time on the site to find out more information on why this event is so important, and the organizations and people that will be helped by the money we all raise.
Thank you in advance.

Can you believe it is June already?
Time is flying by....
Kim, Donna and I did our back to back days over Memorial Day. I found out that I definitely need to be hitting the trails for longer walks. My hips and knees did great with the 15 day 1 and 13 day 2 but the bottom of my feet were tired! I need to be able to do 26 and 14 with hills in a month!!!
Also, I can't believe my fundraising... I am over $8,800 already. I believe I am going to hit my $9,200 goal. Thank you so much!!!
Time to hit the trails....
