A Great Thing Being Done

The following is an email I received from a friend of the family, Tanya, earlier today.


"Dear Friends and Family,

This year my resolution was to do more good, and to continue a healthy lifestyle. With that in mind I signed up for the weekend of July 7-8, 2007 to walk almost 40 miles with thousands of other men and women to help find that cure for breast cancer. We will sleep in tents, take showers in trucks, walk a marathon one day and a half marathon the next. We have committed to the training and fundraising required to participate in this life changing event known as the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. The net proceeds from this event (and others across America) will support non-profit breast health programs, as well as medical research to help find a cure for breast cancer.

The reason I find this to be so important is:

This year, over 180,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Over 40,000 will die.
Each of us has known someone who has been affected, in some way, due to Breast Cancer.

I hope that you’ll be a supporter with me in this effort.


Each walker must commit to raising at least $1800, but my personal goal is $2000. Maybe I am crazy--but if this is what it takes to find a cure, and help our many friends and family who are breast cancer survivors—I will be there!

"You can make a single donation or spread your contribution over several months. I would like to personally thank each one of you for joining us in this fight.

It is not a pleasant thought, but in the time it has taken you to read this, another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.

Please help in changing that statistic.

Thank you,

Tanya Barron"
