Breast Cancer 3-Day


Over 19 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At that time, I was a young mom with kids who were in kindergarten and second grade. Scary times.... To make a long story short, through the grace of God and through the marvels of modern medicine, I am still here and asking you to support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. Over the years Dave and I have chosen to donate to the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, two excellent charities with long-term excellent track records.


Next weekend, Seattle has the privilege of hosting the annual Breast Cancer 3-Day benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Each walker is asked to raise $2,200 and then walk the 60-mile course during the designated three days. My daughter's friend Anne is taking these three days out of her very busy public school teacher's schedule to walk 60 miles for breast cancer. Would you please consider supporting Anne and making a donation to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation?
