Will You Help?

In October of 2007, I took part in the Dallas Breast Cancer 3-Day. I raised approximately $2500 and walked 60 miles over 3 days in support of finding a cure. I chose to walk in 2007 in honor of my mom who was celebrating her 10th anniversary of being cancer free.

This year in August I will walk another 60 "Magnificent" Miles. This time in the Windy City and this time in honor and support of another courageous woman whose family has had to face this ugly disease. I am walking for Arthanise. You can read more about her story here. Arthanise has become a dear friend and I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk in support of her and her battle with cancer.

I am walking so that a cure may be found. So that my sweet little one may never have to know the terrible toll breast cancer can have on a family. I am walking so that Arthanise's husband and children may have another day, month, year, decade with their wife and mom.

This year the required fundraising amount to participate is $2300. My goal is to raise a minimum of $2500. If you would like to help me achieve that goal and help find a cure for this dreadful disease you may click on the donation button on the right side of this blog or you may visit my personal fundraising page.


Thank you in advance for your support!
