I have taken on an incredible challenge this year. During the three days of August 15, 16 & 17, I will be walking 60 miles, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men who will be taking this journey with me.It’s for an event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. They are working hard to build a future without breast cancer, and I plan to help them get there.I am walking for two reasons. The first reason is that Breast Cancer is not just a disease, it is an epidemic. Without a cure, one in eight women will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The second reason is how can you not walk. After meeting this woman Bridget who at 21 was diagnosed with stage 4, and is a strong survivor, is an inspiration in itself. By being part of this walk and raising money for research, I want to do what I can to help end breast cancer once and for all. Everyone deserves a lifetime.I have committed myself to both walk and raise a minimum of $2,200 to help the fight, but with your support I believe I can raise at least $3,000. You can donate online or offline.After the event in August I will post a blog telling you about the experience and how many of the 60 miles I honestly completed.Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and thank you most for your support!Respectfully, Liz Egan flowers layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotCommentsLayout made by Topangachick
