Breast Cancer Awareness
I'm gonna do it again. I'm gonna run for money.
This year will be the 3rd year that I will run in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women. What is this you ask? It is an annual 5k run/walk (I run) to raise money for breast and ovarian cancer research. This will be the 12th Annual Revlon Run/Walk. It will be held in Los Angeles. The 5k (3.1 mile) route winds through downtown LA near the Los Angeles Coliseum. It is a fantastic day where literally thousands of participants join in the fight to raise money for cancer research.
Last year, a young woman whom I had known and worked with (Vikki), lost her life after a long, hard struggle with breast cancer. By the time she passed away, cancer had spread like wildfire throughout her body. She was only 34 years old.
In the past I have simply joined the marathon, almost more out of an excuse to exercise, and raised a little money on the side. This year, I want to get more serious about it. I have set a goal of $3,000. This money goes directly to cancer research. Hopefully, one day we can find a cure or more advanced treatment methods so that others don't have to lose the fight in the same way as Vikki did.
This year I will be running in memory of my grandmother and Vikki, and in support of my aunt. If you so wish to support this wonderful cause, then please make a donation in my name to the Revlon Run/Walk for women. You can visit my personal website at: https://www.revlonrunwalk.com/la/secure/MyWebPage.cfm?pID=211287
Once there, you can make a donation online. If you can, please help me reach my goal of $3,000. Every cent counts.
Also, if anyone wants to join me in running or walking, visit my website and register for the event. I can't even describe the feeling you get when you cross the finish line with 60,000 other participants. It is overwhelming and beautiful to see. If you can't run, but want to offer support, there are other areas in which to volunteer. Please see the website for more information. www.revlonrunwalk.com
Thank you all in advance for your support.
