First-time Walker Version A

Dear friends and family,


I’ve committed to walking AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer. I’m going to crush breast cancer and I’ll need all of you with me to do it.

I’m walking because, every three minutes, another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States; by the time you finish reading this, there will be a new diagnosis. That’s why I’m pushing myself to do something big and bold and to change the course of this disease that affects all of us.

I’m starting today. To walk AVON 39, I have been challenged to raise $1,800. I’m challenging myself to raise my first $100 in the next 15 Days.

I need your support to shatter my fundraising goals. It’s fast and easy to make a donation to my walk. Simply click on the link below to access my fundraising page, where you can make a tax-deductible donation.

Your donation will fund research to find a cure or prevention, as well as programs that enable all patients to access quality care. A key priority is the medically underserved, including low-income, elderly, and minority individuals and much of the money raised goes back to the communities where it was raised. Learn more about the Avon Foundation’s work by visiting avonfoundation.org.

I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Alumni Walker Version

To my dear friends and family,

As many of you know, last year I participated in AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer in [insert city]. I raised more than [insert dollar amount] - thanks to all of you and your support.

I’m back again this year because I know that I can do even more in the fight against breast cancer. I have committed to spending the next few months focusing on fundraising at least $1800 again and of course, training to walk 39.3 miles over two days!

I’m starting now by challenging myself to raise my first $100 in the next 15 Days.

And I’m asking for your support. Simply click on the link below to access my fundraising page, where you can make a tax-deductible donation.

Donate here: [Insert URL to fundraising page] Your tax-deductible donation will help the Avon Foundation fund important medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. Plain and simple, this research continues to save a lot of lives.

I’ve recommitted to this effort and I hope I can count on you to do the same. Thank you again for your support, both financial and emotional! I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress.
