This year I have decided to make a very special commitment. Over three days this September, I will be walking 60 miles in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. This walk will be much more than “just a walk” – it will be raising money to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.

My personal challenge begins now. I have committed to raising $2,200 to participate in this walk, but I’ve set a personal goal of raising $3,000 by July 1st. Yes, this is a big endeavor – but it must be bold to match our mission to eradicate breast cancer. I’m asking you to make a commitment too. Please consider making a fully tax-deductible donation to help me achieve this goal. A dollar for each mile that I will be walking ($60) would be wonderful but you know the amount that is right for you and any donation is appreciated. Please keep in mind how far I'm walking -- and how hard I'll have to train.

According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, approximately 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. That's why I'm walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me -- by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.

Please forward this to all of your friends and family to help ensure this endeavor is a huge success!Thank you in advance for your generosity!
