Powerful words and a powerful emotion evoked if breast cancer has touched your life or the life of someone you know. We need a cure, because the reach of this disease is every man, woman, and child.... people's mothers, sisters, wives, and friends.
I have known so many who's lives have been touched by breast cancer and my heart aches for them. That is why I decided to do something about it. Something extreme. I am going to walk 60 miles from Lake Lanier Islands, GA to downtown Atlanta, GA (to Piedmont Park) in the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk that benefits the Susan G. Komen For a Cure foundation.
I am planning to walk for all the friends and loved ones I know who have fought, and some that are fighting right now to win a battle against a disease that effects us greatly.
The walk will take place in late October and I am beginning my training. This endeavor will take a lot of time and sacrifice on my part, but the time and effort is minimal if we can make one more stride towards unlocking the secrets of how to beat this disease.
In order to participate, I need to raise $2,200 for research. I will do this gladly and willingly because I feel a debt to all the people I have know who's life has been affected by breast cancer. Because I am healthy, able-bodied, and lucky enough not to have gone through this battle.
As you can tell, I feel very strongly about this cause. I ask for your emotional support and also for you to get more information about breast cancer and maybe you too will feel as strongly as I do and aid in the cause.
You can learn more at the Susan G. Komen Website.
