Kendra's Favorite Things

As you know, last November I participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for a Cure walk. I raised over $2,300 dollars to help fund research studies to find a cure for Breast Cancer. I walked 60 miles (about 45 of them in the pouring rain) over the course of 3 days. I met people who'd fought Breast Cancer and won, I met peopled who'd lost their loved ones to it, and I met people who were currently battling through this awful disease at the time.

One of the most important things I took away from participating in this walk is that raising $2,300 and walking 60 miles in a weekend is NOTHING compared to the amount of physical and emotional pain that goes along with a Breast Cancer diagnosis (and the diagnosis is just the beginning)!

I've decided that once wasn't enough so this year I'll be walking another 60 miles November 19th-21st and I need your help.

I know times are tough right now; 401-K's are down, cost of living is going up, and the act of being employed is getting harder and harder to manage with lay-offs and cutbacks.

I understand completely that money is tight, but I am encouraging you to give what you can, even if it's $5 or $10. I am sending this e-mail to over 100 people today, and if each of you contributed just $5, together we would raise $500 towards finding a cure for this life-altering disease.

Imagine a world with no breast cancer. Imagine a mother not having to fight for her life so she can enjoy it with her children. Imagine a world where you and I don't have to wonder if we'll be the next diagnosis. Imagine a cure.
