Please consider donating to a cause that is close to my heart, though I wish that it was not. 

I have watched far too much of what breast cancer does to people. I have watched my grandmother fight this horrible disease and lose her life too early. I have watched a wonderful teammate succumb to the effects of breast cancer. I have watched my mother fight and beat breast cancer, only to lose people around her to this illness. And now I am watching a close friend start her own battle with breast cancer. It escapes no one -  I hope that with continued efforts to raise money, research treatments, undergo clinical trials, and help others, we will one day find a cure for all forms of breast cancer. 

Walking 60 miles over 3 days is an arduous task, but nothing compared to what breast cancer patients go through every day. Please help me reach $2300 to walk again this year in honor of my family and friends who have been touched by this terrible disease.
