Metro Rollers and Friends,
Metro Roller Toya Mitchell
Help support our fellow Metro Roller and skate friend, Toya Mitchell for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on May 1 and 2. I (Robdedob) will start by donating $25.00.
Metro Roller Walks 39 Miles!!
At least that will be the headline on May 2, 2010. You may not know, I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? I didn’t, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has become in this country.
I am eager to get started with my fundraising and I need your support! I have pledged to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as part of my participation in the walk. Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country.
My personal page where you can donate is: www.avonwalk.org/goto/toyawalks
There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance. And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause – you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you for your support; you really do make a difference.
Toya’s goal is to raise $1800 for the cause. If you are moved to help her meet and/or exceed her goal, visit her page to make a donation!
