I want to thank my supporters in advance of the 2024 3Day for your continued support. This event is very special to me. 2024 marks 2B4U’s 10th event in our personal journey to contribute to a cure for Breast Cancer.
In 2006 our family lost a very special member to Breast Cancer. Shortly after, a close friend lost his mom. In 2007, I was inspired by a commercial, to join the dedicated 3-Day community in walking/working for a cure. I started out with the idea that we would walk 60 miles over 3 days in Atlanta, GA as our personal contribution and in honor of our loved ones. Little did I realize how inspiring the event, the survivors, the thrivers and the families of those taken too soon, would be to me personally. So for me– it isn’t one and done. It is continue until BREAST CANCER IS DONE!
Along the way the list of those affected by Breast Cancer has grown. Pushing me to continue the fight in their honor and sadly for some, their memory. The circle is small. 1 in 8 will be affected. I feel a sense of urgency to work harder.
Why Komen? The simple facts, direct from their website. Komen has funded more breast cancer research over our history than any other nonprofit. (nearly 1.1 Billion to date, second only to the U.S. Government)
How does YOUR donation help?
$25 could by research supplies so scientists can work toward finding new ways to prevent, detect and/or treat breast cancer.
$50 could provide gas for a person in need so they can get to their next chemotherapy appointment.
$200 could provide one screening mammogram for someone in need.
Komen’s Financial Assistance Program provides financial support for income eligible people in breast cancer treatment and thoseliving with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer. $500 could assist those in treatment for Stage I-Stage III breast cancer. $750 could support people living with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.
Where do you fit in? Wherever you can, because every donation matters.
Does walking cure cancer? NO! But walking raises awareness. Walking motivates us to do more for others. Walking introduces more people to valuable resources they may be unaware of.
Join me once again in the fight, for future generations, by making a donation to our team and the 2024 3Day.
Thank you and God Bless.
