Dear friends and family,
When I registered for AVON 39, I knew I was taking on a serious challenge. Fundraising $1800. Training to walk 39 miles.
I’m really feeling the weight of this commitment and what my contribution means to end breast cancer. I am determined to finish this and earn my 39!
I still need financial contributions to help me reach my goal. Please consider making a donation, big or small, or forwarding this email on to people who you think might want to donate. I’m going to need everyone’s help on this one!
Thank you so much!
