| I
personally pledge to wear high heel shoes for the event.
(Shoes with one inch of heel for
EVERY $15,000.00 in contributions made in my name.)
Now I may think
outside the box, but not that far out, well sometimes I'm so far out of the box I can't
even SEE the box, but this time I have set a limit of 5 inches on the height of the
heels.
I believe desperate
times call for desperate measures and I challenge anyone to join me for this event.
Should anyone wish to join me in this challenge, I would be happy to dedicate server
space for a web site to solicit sponsorship.
I will be putting
the sponsorship links up within the next 30 to 60 days which should give plenty of time to
raise funds for my participation. These links will lead directly to the Komen
foundations servers as they will be collecting all donations.
Donations/Contributions
must be made directly to the Susan G. Komen foundation in my name.
I will not
personally receive donation funds for any reason or amount.
As the official
fundraising launch has yet to occur, I invite you to bookmark this site and return every
so often to check on my progress and, hopefully, contribute at a later time.
Why am I doing this?
When I discovered
the numbers for breast cancer cases diagnosed each year, as well as the mortality rates
for this horrible disease, I was both mortified and hopeful. Mortified simply
beacuse of the number of good people, men and women just like you and me, that are
afflicted with this condition, and hopeful because of advances in the treatments and
current survival rates of patients. This says to me that something we are doing is
working, we're just not there yet.
Because of this form of
cancer, there are countless individuals that are living with struggles I cannot even
imagine and they are doing it every single day. Now everyone, for one reason or
another, has bad days. Cancer patients have these days EVERY DAY!
And what of those who have lost
their brave battle with cancer. Mothers and Fathers, who left children behind, that
will never see their babies have another birthday, graduate from school, walk down the
isle, become parents themselves. These are casualties of a horrific illness that
will never again experience the smell of a spring morning, the rise of the morning sun or
a stroll among flowers in a garden. All the things many of us take for
granted, they will never experience again.
Because of the extent of this
disease, every day there are fewer and fewer families that are left untouched by
cancer. The time for action is now more than ever. Please join me in this
effort by sponsoring my participation in the 3day for the cure.
The Susan G. Komen for the cure
foundation is the largest non profit organization for the support of breast cancer
research and this is why I made the decision to support them.
