Dear Family and Friends,
I am lacing up my shoes again to support breast cancer research and patient programs! Please support me as I commit to an incredible challenge, The Susan G. Komen 3-Day in Boston on August 23-25, 2024.
For the next FIVE days, a generous donor will be matching donations up to $750, which will enable me to raise over half of my fundraising goal of $2,300 over the next five days! If you're interested in donating through this option, please Venmo me your donation with your name and I will send your donation to the generous donor to match your donation. It may take up to six or eight weeks for the donation to register in my online fundraising account after receiving the donation.
The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. It will be hard, but it’s not as hard as breast cancer, a mastectomy, reconstruction surgery, chemo, or waiting for the results of your latest scan. It’s certainly not as hard as saying goodbye. And that’s why I continue to support this foundation and the men and women battling breast cancer. That’s why I’m walking and raising money – to end breast cancer forever!
Sadly, my list of those I walk for continues to grow and a I lost a friend to her battle with cancer this year. My good friend and nurse practitioner colleague recently received the dreaded breast cancer diagnosis. Thankfully, she continues to recover well from her surgeries. This year, I'm walking in honor of my friend, Robyn, recently diagnosed, and my Aunt Jenny, who continues to thrive after her breast cancer battle. I also walk in memory of my great grandmother and my friends, Sarah (Fredd) Wilcox and Christine Madubuko.
I can walk for miles, but I can't do this without your support! Please consider making a tax deductible donation to my fundraising site or Venmo me directly over the next 5 days to enable a donation match from a generous donor.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
For the cure,
Deanna
