Back Again for Another Year
Our next big fundraiser is a turkey deep fry on Saturday May 31st, rain or shine. $20 gets you all the deep fried turkey, salad and home made fries you can eat. Contact me if you're interested in joining us.
----------------------------
I'm back again to walk the 60K in 2008 for the third time.
People have asked me why I continue to participate in this event every year. I'm one of a very few people who have not been personally touched by breast cancer. None of my family have been diagnosed with this disease. In fact, I don't personally know anyone who has diagnosed. My reasons for participating over the years have changed. This year, I do this simply because I can. Because there are so many people who need the help and cannot walk. Because there are so many people who would like to walk but can't. I do it for those people, because I can, and they can't. I do it so that my son will not have to lose a mother, sister, grandmother or aunt to this disease. I do it so that my daughter will not have to endure what so many have already been through.
I do this every year, just because I can.
Please support me or a member of my team with your donation, or by attending one of our fundraisers. Every dollar helps.
