The Weekend to End Breast Cancer

Mar 22, 2007 21:55

My mom sent me the following email today. This is her second year participating in this event. I hope some of you might consider donating to this worthy cause:

On June 2-3, 2007, I will be participating in a very special event called The Weekend to End Breast Cancer .

The event involves walking 60 kilometres over the course of two days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, and services through the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

In order to participate in this event, I need to raise a minimum of $2,000, but I've set my personal goal at $3,000. So I'm asking for your help. I hope you would consider making a donation of $1.00 per km, but any amount would be appreciated. A secure web site has been established to accept donations. Use the link below to visit my personal site and make your donation to support me in this venture. You can also visit my team page - "Marching for Mammaries", to see how our Canada Post Team is doing.

According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 20,500 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 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.
