October 4 5, 2008 For 2 days and 39 miles, walkers will unite in support of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, a 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to provide access to care and to work toward finding a cure. They provide funding to organizations all over the country in five areas: medical research, clinical care, support services, educational and advocacy seminars, and community-based, non-profit early detection breast health programs. I have accepted the challenge and I need your support! I have pledged to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as part of my participation in the walk. Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance. And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause – you can make a donation online by simply visiting http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR/Walk2008/NewYork?px=4052180&pg=personal&fr_id=1660&et=rpc780V5rdfRHQs8lW1qGw..&s_tafId=356971 Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support; you really do make a difference.?
