For my upcoming 16th birthday I don't want to celebrate with a traditional frivolous party, instead I want to help make strides towards a cure for breast cancer. My reasons are simple. I may not be able to cure cancer myself, but i can walk the 60 miles to partake in the Susan G. Komen 3 day for the cure.
I can't bring back all the women who have lost their fight with breast cancer, but walk 105,600 yards?
I can do that.
I can't take away the pain felt by 1 in 8 women in the US as they go through intense chemotherapy and other forms of treatment, but walk 316,800 feet?
I can do that.
I can walk the 60 miles in three days along with thousands of others to make strides towards eliminating breast cancer
For my 16th Birthday, I can make a difference.
But I can't do it without your help!
With your donation we can help the Susan G. Komen foundation get one step closer to curing Breast Cancer and create more birthdays!!
Which means more birthday candles, birthday parties and birthday cake. And we all know how much we like birthday cake :)
