My sweet friends and family!
Good day to all,
You have all done so much for me this year. It is hard to put into words all the love and support I have received and continue to receive. And here I am again writing an email to ask for you to give more. But you have to admit, I've got a pretty good story to ask for more. *smile*
Here is my story:
Team Cancer Sucks is heading to Washington DC October 3, 4, 5th to walk 20 miles three days in row for a total of 60 miles. I walked my first year in 2005 for my mother. After watching her painful fight against breast cancer and then having her pass away, walking 60 miles was nothing. I did it because I believe we will find a cure. No one should have to experience breast cancer or cancer.
In 2008, I walk for ME, in memory of my mother, my friend Michelle Bynum (whose breast cancer just came back into her chest wall and spine), my friends mothers, aunts, grandmothers, my friends friends, and for our daughters. I would do anything to prevent someone experiencing breast cancer, especially chemo. The walk will be an experience of a lifetime again. The best part is I will have some amazing friends, my dad Gus, and supports walking beside me this year. I might not actually walk all 60 miles, but I will walk through that finish line and smile.
I have committed to raise $2,200 to be able to walk. To donate: http://08.the3day.org/site/TR/Walk/WashingtonDCEvent?pg=personal&fr_id=1192&fr_id=1192&px=1228146
I understand that each of you have given so much this last year and may have other charity commitments.
There are few of you that will get hit two to three times by us walking is DC this year. Each of us needs to raise our $2,200. So ask that you could spread the donations among each person you know or the person needing the money the most to get to $2,200.
If you want to walk with us, see our team page at http://08.the3day.org/site/TR/Walk/WashingtonDCEvent?pg=team&fr_id=1192&team_id=33960
Hugs,
Traci Kolinek
