*~*~*October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!*~*~*
This year I have signed up to walk on October 17 in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. I’m hoping you’ll support me. I know that there are a lot of breast cancer events out there, but Making Strides speaks to me because funds raised enable the American Cancer Society to help people stay well and get well from breast cancer, find cures, and empower people to fight back today. With your help, we can save lives.
To support me in my efforts, please visit my personal page. http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/Ma...al&fr_id=19818. My goal is $1000.
They say that every donation makes a difference, and it really is true. I know that times are tighter than normal for many of us, but if you can spare even $5, it truly will make a difference. If everyone walking in Making Strides this year were able to raise just $5 more, we would raise an additional $3 million to fight breast cancer.
As a little extra inspiration, I thought you might like to know a few of the ways your donation will help the American Cancer Society save lives every day.
When you make a donation...
* More people in our community will have the information and tools they need to help prevent breast cancer or find it early.
* More people with breast cancer will have a place to turn around the clock to help them through every step of their cancer journey – whether it’s a free ride to treatment, a place to stay, or just talking to someone who has "been there."
* More progress will be made toward finding breast cancer’s causes and cures. The American Cancer Society has played a role in nearly every major breast cancer breakthrough of the last century, which have led to the discovery of lifesaving breast cancer treatments like Tamoxifen and Herceptin. You will help us find more.
* More women – like our own mothers, daughters, sisters, and grandmothers – will have access to lifesaving mammograms and treatment they need.
Together we will make a difference, make history, and make strides.
Thank You

I'll be running the Susan Komin 5k in Jax on the 17th of Oct. in memory of my sister in-law who lost her battle on July 8th 2009 at 38 years old. She fought it for 4 years. I sure miss her smile!
