Please help find a cure
When I was 4, my Mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. At the time, I didn't realize that her life was in danger. Years later, I realized that many people have friends or relatives who have either survived, or succomed to cancer. I vowed to try to help change the survival rate.
At present time, My mom is a 24 year survivor (25 years in September). Wouldn't it be great if everyone who has been diagnosed could say that.
It is estimated that one in eight American women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. In 2005, more than 211,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed, while more than 22,000 will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In 2005, more than 69,000 women will lose their life to a form of women's cancer. Behind each of these statistics is the face of a woman who needs your help -- a mother, a wife, a sister, your friend.
On Saturday, May 13th, I will be participating in the 13th Annual Revlon Run/Walk For Women. You can join me in the fight against women's cancers by making a donation on my behalf. Your donation will help fund important research into the cause and cure of women's cancers, prevention, education and support service programs. Every donation will help bring us one step closer to a cure. Until a cure is found and we know that all women are safe, we must continue the fight.

Please keep in mind that the donation is 100% tax deductible and every donation counts ($1, $5, $10). Some of the members of my team and I will be wearing t-shirts with donor names on them. If you make a donation and would like your personal or business name imprinted on our shirts, please let me know at heather77 at verizon dot net.
Thank you!
Heather
