First-time Walker Version A
To my dear Friends and Family,
As you know, I accepted the exhilarating challenge of participating in AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer [insert city] this [insert date].
It's been a wild ride so far – emotional and challenging in ways that I could never have expected. But all of this pales in comparison to what breast cancer patients go through and I’m more committed than ever.
I'm so thrilled to share that in less than 2 months of fundraising, I'm close to meeting my $1800 fundraising minimum. In fact, as of today, I'm at [insert $$] – only [insert $$] left to go to my minimum, and only [inset $$] to go to reach my personal [inset $$] fundraising goal!
Today I write to ask – will you support my AVON 39? Will your donation be the one to put me over the top?
Your donation will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and a cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in community across the country. Your donation will help to save lives.

I'm so fortunate to have such an incredible community of friends and family. I thank you in advance for reading and for your support. You’re helping me earn Hero status!

Dear friends and family,
It’s time to top me off! I have $XXX left to raise and I know some of you have told me you still plan to donate and the time is now! You can even commit to giving over the course of a few months – did you know that? AVON 39 makes it so easy and doable on any budget to donate.
Your help through all of this has been nothing short of amazing.
Thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do!

Dear friends and family,
I’m in the home stretch with my fundraising. I’ve earned some cool prizes along the way and my training is going great. I’m constantly reminded of why this is so important to me, especially when AVON 39 staff share their personal stories for why they work to obliterate breast cancer. We really are all in this together. I’m excited to cross the finish line, both physically and mentally. Knowing that I have all of you supporting me will push me in my hardest moments during my AVON 39 weekend.
Now is when I need to dig deep to finish the fundraising piece of this undertaking. It when I need your networks. I need you to share my link on your Facebook pages. I need you to forward this email. If you know of a fundraiser I should try, let me know. I have just a little bit more to do and I’m there!
I can’t thank all of you enough for all that you have done so far. I am so lucky to have all of you in my corner.
Thank you.
