The Complete Idiots Guide to the Ultimate Reading List discussion

Walking for the cure .... Walking for the survivors ..... Walking for the women who didn't make it .... But mostly walking for my daughter and her future!!!!

As some of you may know, I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on Septmeber 12 & 13. I will be walking my first marathon at a total of 26.2 miles over the course of a weekend.

By the time you get done reading this, another woman will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer, it happens every 3 minutes.

- A death every 13 minutes due to Breast Cancer
- Women have a 1 in 8 chance of getting Breast Cancer
- And a 1 in 33 chance of dying from Breast Cancer
- Another shocking fact is that an estimated 3 million women are living with Breast Cancer and don't even know it yet.

And all this in the United States alone!!!

My mission is to raise $1800 for Breast Cancer research as part of my participation before I walk my marathon. I am counting on the support of all of you to help. Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services. There is special focus on helping medically under-served women with inadequate health insurance.

The easiest way to donate is right online through my personal web page. If you would prefer to donate another way just contact me and I can mail you a form. Whatever you can give is so greatly appreciated by me and the Avon Breast Cancer Foundation. Thank you in advance for you support!!!
