You may or may not already know that I am walking in the 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk this weekend, November 19-21st. Over the course of 3 days I will walk a total of 60 miles to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. Yes, my feet will hurt, and sure my legs will be sore, but the truth is the pain that I will feel will be so insignificant compared to the pain that Breast Cancer brings into so many people's lives.
I have raised a total $1,900 that will go directly towards programs to find a cure for Breast Cancer. I have set a goal of $2,300 and I am sending you this e-mail to help me in the fight to find a CURE for this deadly disease. If you think $5 or $10 won't make a difference, think again, every little bit helps. Please visit www.the3day.org/goto/kendradwyer to donate whatever you are able to.
TOP 5 REASONS TO HELP ME FIGHT BREAST CANCER-
5) Marianne- My neighbor. She told my roommate and I she had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer just days after she moved into the apartment underneath us and she just finished her last session or Chemotherapy last week. Through everything, she's managed to keep a smile on her face and loves to show us her new hats and wigs. A few weeks ago she knocked on my door and had made me an extra burger while she was downstairs grilling lunch for her and her boyfriend, she does kind acts like this all the time, even though she is fighting a deadly disease.
4) Paula Castro- She lost her fight to breast cancer this October. I sat on a plane ride next to her 19 year old son Dallas and learned that 15 of her closest friends and family members were headed to Hawaii to spread her ashes in the Pacific Ocean. He told me that he wouldn't expect anything less because she was the most amazing woman in the world. When I told him that I would do this walk in memory of her he fought back tears and gave a complete stranger (me) one of the warmest hugs I've ever received.
3)Gloria Rios- My good friend and co-worker's youngest sister. She's 42 years old and appeared to be in perfect health until she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast cancer just two months ago. They are both scared for her life.
2) You- I don't want to have to tell your story some day.
1) Our Future- I hope to have daughters some day and I don't want them to live in fear of this disease.
Anything you can contribute will be appreciated.
With Love,
Kendra
