Violet is for Hodgkin's Lymphoma... But... Pink is for...Avon Walk for Breast Cancer!!
As many of you may already know, or will soon know, I have made the decision to participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It should be called the Avon Walk Against Breast Cancer... because I'm definately not walking to get it!
As a participant, I have vowed to raise $1,800 and walk 39.1 miles in 2 days during 2 days in May!
I decided to walk for 2 main reasons. Breast Cancer will affect 1 in 8 women in her lifetime. If I name 8 women close to me, there's no way I can bear to see any of them going through this traumatic illness. My second reason is that I want to give back to the very institutions that cared for me during my illness. Between 2003 and 2006 The Avon Foundation donated over $150 million to research, hospitals, and social services. It's good to know that the money raised in Boston, will stay in Boston.
If you would like to make a donation to, or join me in, my cause or just see my "New Blog for a New Era" just click on the pretty pink pin up at the bottom of this post!!
Mwah!
