Everyone (this is as good a place to post this as any) and it's not exactly what is normally posted on this message board but it's a nice change,
Well April 26 is a LONG way away to most of us, but on this date is the start of the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day. It's a WALK from Fort Worth to Dallas covering 60 miles and spanning 3 Days. It's to raise money to battle breast cancer. Over those 3 days there is a mobile city that moves with the group providing meals, hot showers, and a tent city where each person will sleep. I know you might have to give up a weekend of drinking and some time getting ready for it, but it's worth it.
From the website:
"This year, approximately 182,800 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. That's 500 per day. More than 40,800 will die. 80% won't have any genetic predisposition to the disease."
My stepsister died at age 59 from Breast Cancer because it wasn't caught early enough.
And that is why I am wanting to participate and am asking if anyone would be interested in joining me to form a team. My sister has already expressed an interest. The reason I am asking now is there some training to get each partipant into a physical state as to not hurt them themselves and be able to complete the task ahead. Also each participant is required to do some fund raising. At least $1,900 per participant to be exact. And that fund raising can be done a lot easier in a team then as an individual. They provide material to help in fundraising or if necessary a speaker for a fund raising party to do the selling for you. I'm not asking for donations now, but I will in the future. I am just trying to find out if anyone is interested. If you are, please let me know. Also there is A LOT of material on thier webpage including where you can request a brochure. The website is: http://www.bethepeople.com/avon_3days/events_3day_da.htm
It's a worthy cause and think a team of people can help a lot more then just me. Again Please let me know if your interested or have questions.
Sincerely,
Gordon McKenzie
