help me make a difference!
Thanks for visiting my Avon Walk page. I’ve committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It’s a big commitment, one that will require me 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 I’m determined to do everything I can to help put an end to it. The money I 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. I’ll be just one of thousands of people that will walk up to a marathon and a half over a weekend, raising awareness of the cause and educating even more people.
I can’t do it without your help. Though I’m required to raise at least $1,800 in donation, I plan to raise much more!
I hope that I can count on your support.
Even $10 can make a difference!
You can make a donation to my fundraising campaign right here on the website by clicking on the pink "Donate Now" button. If you prefer to write a check, just contact me and I'll send you the information and form.
As I prepare for this exciting event, I plan to update this page frequently so that all my supporters can follow my progress, so please visit often. While you're here, you might want to spend some time on the site to find out more information on why this event is so important, and the organizations and people that will be helped by the money we all raise.
Thank you in advance.

12 Weeks of Training!!!
Ok....here it goes! 2 weeks ago I began my progressive training program. WOW! This is some serious stuff! I started really slow...a few mile walk to warm up, then 2 mile run at 6mph and then a 1 mile cool down. Ummm, let's just say the REAL training began this week. Monday - 8 mile walk, Tuesday 6 mile walk, Wednesday weights and resistance training at the gym, Thursday 4 mile walk, Friday weights and resistance training at the gym, Saturday 2 mile walk, Sunday weights and resistance training at the gym. Each week on Monday and Tuesday, the miles increase to top out at 26 miles on one day and 13.1 the next. Yowzers! All I can say is ....Thank the Lord for daycare at LifeTime Fitness during this crazy training! :) And the treadmill in my basement....which, I need some major help in installing a TV so I don't have to stare at Christmas Decorations in storage for 2 hours.
First injury reported.... skin tear on the back of my heal! ouch! That's just the first I'm afraid.
See you next week...stay tuned! Over and out!
