If I told you that I was walking 60 miles in 3 days to help women with undetected breast cancer find out early enough to survive, would you support me?

In October, I will be participating in the most difficult, most physically challenging thing I have ever done. I am walking the Avon Breast Cancer 3-day, 60 mile walk to help find a cure for breast cancer and save not only my life, but many others.

I am walking in memory of my mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 1983, and died six months later. I am also walking for my aunt who died of breast cancer a few years later.

I am considered to be at high risk, and I am scared that someday it will be me.

"The Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day, Atlanta"
This fall, thousands of people will walk 60 miles from Lake Lanier to Atlanta in a remarkable event called the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day. It's 72 hours of all-out commitment to the cause-a living, moving monument to the power of human kindness. We're walking to honor our loved ones, to celebrate breast cancer survivors, to help more people survive this deadly disease, and ultimately, to find the cure that will eradicate breast cancer for good. Net proceeds will benefit the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, to fund better access to care for medically underserved women and to find a cure for breast cancer.
