In 39 Days...

In 39 Days I will walk 39 miles during my participation with the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer -Boston. I will be up and ready to go at U Mass Boston at 5:30 AM on Saturday, walk 26.2 miles that day, camp out in a tent that night, and walk 13.1 miles back on Sunday. I will be walking with over 3,000 other men and women who share the same commitment to help in the fight against breast cancer.

I am SO excited for this event, having seen the past 3 year's Walks from a logistical standpoint. I am also excited that I am going to be walking with my good friend Tiffany (another past Avon Walk colleague). Tiffany had her son - Henry David - 3 months ago, and the two of us make up TEAM HENRY! We want to make sure our Henrys don't ever need to go through the trauma of having one of us, or any other friend or family member, be diagnosed with this disease.

I STILL NEED HELP THOUGH! All walkers are required to raise a minimum of $1800 in order to participate. Thanks to so many generous friends and family I am now at $1,190!!!! Thank you SO much to everyone who has donated and supported me thus far.

I have $600 left to raise in the next 39 days! If you have not yet donated, please take a look at my Avon Walk page: http://www.tinyurl.com/2jvwy9

Donating is easy, and you will be making a giant impact in the fight against breast cancer.

Thank you so much to everyone for all of your support. Team Henry is off for a training walk now!
