I'm doing it again! The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is in Charlotte this year, October 21 & 22. My team and I will be walking a total of 39 miles over 2 days all around Charlotte in order to raise awareness and money to support breast cancer research, education, and treatment. All of us have been affected by breast cancer- in our own families and in our circle of friends. A new diagnosis of breast cancer is made every 3 seconds..... and imagine how many women (AND men!) don't even know they have it because of the lack of medical resources or awareness! Something you can easily do is save http://www.thebreastcancersite.org/ as one of your web favorites and visit it daily- just click and money is donated to provide free mammograms to women in need.
To learn more about our team's fundraising efforts- please visit http://www.teamtaboob.com/ on a regular basis as well as it will continually be updated with new events, information, and opportunities for you to be involved in this year's Avon Walk for Breast Cancer! You can connect to our team avon site through that website or to go directly to my fundraising site, visit http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR?px=1583168&pg=personal&fr_id=1281.
It's not too late to join the team- if you've ever even thought about walking, it is SO worth it! Each walker is required to raise a minimum of $1800 and it's an amazing weekend of walking with survivors, women still battling breast cancer, family and friends that have lost loved ones, and other men and women determined to help spread the word about breast cancer and fund finding a cure!
I walk in honor of my strong survivor mom, the women I know battling cancer now, friends I have lost to the disease, and so that my daughter never has to lose her mother or her own life to breast cancer.
