Breast Cancer 3-Day!!


This August, my daughter, Randi (Eli's mommy), will be participating in a very special and powerful event in the fight against breast cancer. It's called the Breast Cancer 3-Day and I'd like to tell you about it.

It's a 60-mile walk over three days to raise money for breast cancer. The net proceeds will support the combined efforts of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust (NPT) Breast Cancer Fund in their mission to fund access to care and find a cure for breast cancer. She'll be serving as a crew member on the “G.A.L.(Garden Ave Ladies) Pals” team.

She has decided to raise $2,300 in donations. But she needs your help. Would you please consider making a fully tax-deductible donation in any amount to help meet her goal? Follow the link below to visit Randi’s personal fundraising webpage and make a donation.

This year, according to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, more than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer. About 40,000 will die from the disease. That's why I'm doing this - to do something bold about breast cancer.

I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting Randi’s fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

P.S. Ask your employer if they will double your donation through a matching gift program!
