We have taken on an incredible challenge. On August 21st, we'll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with us.
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 we plan on raising $2,300to help bring us closer to that goal.
Please consider making a donation. Even spare change will help. Also ask your employer if they will double your donation with a matching gift.
We are doing this for the women we've known over the years who have had to battle this horrible cancer. Some have won and some have lost. We are doing this for anyone who know's someone who has gone through this battle. We are doing this for all women who have survived or lost their battle. W are doing this for our future, our childrens future, and the future of all women so that one day a 3-day walk is no longer needed. We are doing this for Kelli's Grandma Pat - a 20+ year survivor, Liz, Betsy, Jody, Jennifer, Denise, Marlene and Margaret. Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s why we're walking in the 3-Day. Because everyone deserves a lifetime.

Sincerely,
Team Giddy Up
