Fundraising page at -http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR/Walk/Boston?px=1527822&pg=personal&fr_id=2170

On May 19^th and 20th I will proudly walk in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (Boston) as an 11 year/2x Breast Cancer survivor. I walk for those who are not as fortunate, for those who can’t afford proper medical care, for those who are seeking a cure for this disease.  I will walk a marathon and a half (that’s nearly 40 miles!). I’m honored to help others get the same chance at survival that I had. I Got a late start with my fundraising....could really use your help!  Just a few quick clicks below and you can join my team, Every Three Minutes (E3M), in the fight against breast cancer!  A new case of breast cancer is diagnosed every three minutes.  An estimated three million women are living with breast cancer. One million of them don't yet know it. This year, an estimated 40,000 women will die from the disease. Breast cancer takes another life every 14 minutes. Men can get breast cancer too.  Donations to the Avon Foundation support 5 key areas in the fight: medical research, access to treatment, screening and diagnosis, support services, and education and awareness.   Please help ME—and all who are impacted by breast cancer—by making a tax-deductible contribution ONLINE. THANK YOU FOR ANY DONATION, I need all the help I can getJ.

Fondly, Mary McCauley
