Dear
Friends and Family,
Once
again, my poodles and I will be walking, this September 16th, 2012, we will join
more than 30,000 runners, walkers and volunteers for the Komen Portland Race for
the Cure. As one person in a crowd of thousands, I am accepting a challenge to
make a difference.
I
am a 21 year survivor-----the last 5 I have been OUT of remission and have
started the battle anew. I was diagnoses again in April of 2008 and have been
receiving ongoing treatment ever since, when one drug quits working we move onto
the next one.
One
in eight women
will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. When I stop to think of
the co-workers, friends, aunts, neighbors, mothers and grandmothers in my life,
eight women easily come to mind. And I do not want to see a single one suffer
from this terrible disease.
I
want to make a difference for our children, so they have the promise of a full
life.
Will
you help me? The size of your contribution is not important, because every
dollar adds up and makes a difference, providing breast cancer education,
screening and access to quality healthcare in our Oregon and SW service area.
Early detection saves lives.
Not
a fan of online gifts....If you would prefer, you can mail your tax-deductible
contribution to the address listed below. Please just include a note on the
memo line that indicates the gift is on my behalf so that you will receive
credit on my fundraising page and I'll know you made a donation on my behalf!

Whatever
you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted
on my progress. Thank you for joining in our promise to create a world without
breast cancer!
ONE
way or another I will do the RACE for the CURE again this
year.
Sincerely,
~~Jann
