Avon 2 Day Walk for Breast Cancer

It’s that time of year again: my annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is just around the corner (September 7th and 8th), and I can’t wait!

I do this walk for so many reasons: because there are three million women in the United States living with breast cancer—and one third of them don’t even know it. Because no one knows what causes breast cancer or how it can be prevented or cured. And because I know too many people who have struggled with and been affected by this awful disease.

I have to admit: I also do it because it’s the best weekend I have all year! It’s a community of many diverse people coming together with one single goal— to end breast cancer! We are greeted as heroes with every step. It’s very powerful, and it’s a lot of fun!

One of the best parts of every Avon Walk weekend is learning how some of the funds we raised will be used. Organizations large and small throughout our community and all over the country receive grants from the Avon Foundation for Women to allow women and men to receive the screening, support and treatment they require regardless of their ability to pay, and to fund leading-edge research. All because of the support I receive from you.

I want to ask you to please donate this year to make an even bigger impact in the lives of those who so desperately need it.
