This October (2008) I will be participating in a very special event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day. I will walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
In order for me to participate in this amazing and somewhat insane event, I must raise a minimum of $2,200. So I need your help. Please consider making a tax deductible donation. You may make the donation on the website at www.The3Day.org. You just go to the donations link and go to Atlanta then put in my name (Gina Hughey).
Keep in mind the challenges I will have to face during those three days. Twenty miles of walking each day, sleeping in a tent, porta potties, no hair dryer, blisters on the feet, etc., etc. It will all be worth it in the end.
According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, approximately 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. That is why I will be walking so far, to do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you will share in this incredible event with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Please consider a donation to help find a cure to this disease. You can make a donation (using a secure connection) directly to the Susan G. Komen fund by Clicking Here. I also will be putting together a website for our team (The Cocunut Cuties) that will have a "Memory Wall" where I will post any stories you send me about someone in your life that you would like to make a donation in behalf of. I would also love to post a picture if you care to send it. Please send stories and links to photos to gina (at) forteagle.com, and make the subject "Atlanta Cancer 3 Day".
Thank you in advance for your financial support!
