Thanks for your support!

Do you ever feel compelled to do something, without knowing exactly why? Do you ever follow your gut and just do it? That was how I decided to do this 3 day. Chuti told me about it and as soon as I heard of it, something triggered.

Why do I want to walk? George Bernard Shaw summed it up:
"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

This walk is a wonderful testimony to the capabilities of the human spirit: immense generosity, resilience, and profound compassion.

My goal is to raise $5,000 by October 18, 2002. I would love for you to join me in this adventure by donating.

THE SHIRT - If you would like your donation to be accepted in honor of a cancer survivor or in memory of someone, please feel free to give me her name. I will stitch her name onto my official 3 day shirt as a tribute to the women who inspire us and remind us of why we need to find a cure for cancer. I'll be sure to send you a picture of the stitched name, although I can't vouch for my embroidery skills ;).


Thanks for stopping in. Even if you can't manage a monetary donation, your supportive thoughts and prayers will be gratefully accepted ;)!

"The Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day, Los Angeles"
This fall, thousands of people will walk 60 miles from Santa Barbara to Malibu in a remarkable event called the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day. It's 72 hours of all-out commitment to the cause-a living, moving monument to the power of human kindness. We're walking to honor our loved ones, to celebrate breast cancer survivors, to help more people survive this deadly disease, and ultimately, to find the cure that will eradicate breast cancer for good. Net proceeds will benefit the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, to fund better access to care for medically underserved women and to find a cure for breast cancer.
