Breast Cancer 3-Day

[jayfurr]

I am extremely gratified by the generosity shown by my friends, co-workers, and acquaintances in response to my request to support the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk I'll be doing in Washington, DC this fall.

As of 11 AM today, a total of $835.00 has come in. With a minimum goal of $2200 that I have to raise in order to take part, it's great to know that so much has come in so quickly; the goal was a little bit scary at first.

As several people have reminded me, breast cancer has touched the lives of many people, not just as survivors or victims, but in the form of family members, co-workers, and friends with the disease. It's easier, it seems, to raise funds when it's something so personal and yet so wide-ranging.
