Mike and Racine walk for a decade!
Thank you for visiting our Avon Walk page. We have committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer for our tenth (10th)year. It’s a big commitment, one that will require us to spend the next several months training and fundraising. But breast cancer is a big disease, one that still affects far too many people, and we are determined to do everything we can to help put an end to it. The money we raise will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade to help provide access to care for those that most need it, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures. We will be two out of thousands of people that will walk a marathon (26.2 miles) and a half marathon (13.1 miles) over a weekend, raising awareness of the cause and educating even more people.
We cannot do it without your help. Though we are required to raise at least $1,800 each in donations, our goal is $6,000!
We hope that we can count on your support.

As we prepare for this exciting event, I plan to update this page frequently so that all my supporters can follow our progress, so please visit often.
