Team Henry Walks Again!
Spring is coming (eventually...some day...) which means I have strapped on my walking shoes and begun training again for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
Yes, I am doing it again! This will be my 5th year involved in this event, either as a full time employee or a walker. Breast Cancer affects almost everyone. One of every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer - that means a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer EVERY THREE MINUTES. There is a very good chance that one day Henry will have to deal with me or someone else in our family being diagnosed. When and if that happens, I want him to know that I did everything I could to help in this fight.
So, my friend Tiffany and I are once again joining forces as "Team Henry" (her son is also named Henry) and on May 16th and 17th we will walk 39.3 miles, camp out overnight in a tent (rain or shine...or snow!)and raise a minimum of $1800 each in order to participate.
I can' t do this without your help. Though I am required to raise at least $1800, I plan to raise much more. You can learn more and make a donation to my fundraising campaign by visiting my personal fundraising website - http://www.tinyurl.com/6gdedg
Thank you everyone for your support and for joining me in the fight against breast cancer!
