This is my 10th year of walking for the breast cancer cause. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed and how my involvement has grown in this time. Since 1998 I have walked in 70 long distance walks (3700 miles) and raised over $677,000 for the cause. This year my walking goal is all 8 Avon Walks for Breast Cancer and 7 of the Breast Cancer 3Days. I will be walking 37 days and taking 1,500,000 steps. My walking goal is part of my plan to reach ONE HUNDRED WALKS. My fundraising goal is to raise $323,000 so that I can reach my personal goal of ONE MILLION DOLLARS. When I am walking I wear a long cloth banner on my back with the names of my sponsors on white or blue ribbons. I also wear pink ribbons with the names of people they would like me to walk in honor/memory of. If you would like me to wear a pink ribbon honoring your special person please email me their name. If you would like to donate on line please click 'donate'. If you would like to support the Avon Walks for Breast Cancer, go to LA and type in my name. If you would like to support the Breast Cancer 3Day, go to SD and type in my name. Thank you for your financial and emotional support. Together we are making a difference.

I have just completed 15 walks and raised $135,000, in total, for the Avon
Walks for Breast Cancer and the Breast Cancer 3Day. My thanks to my
family, and to all of you who have supported my efforts. My thanks to all
of the walk staffs, crews, and volunteers. We could not do this without
each and every one of you. My congratulations to the 36,499 walkers who
raised an incredible $93.1m in those 15 walks. What a privilege to be a
part of such a gigantic effort. It is now time for me to move on with
my plans for 2008. I have committed to 15 more walks and to raising
$180,000 to reach my personal goals of ONE HUNDRED WALKS/ONE MILLION
DOLLARS. I hope you will join me in that effort. Just a reminder:
have you had your mammogram, and are you doing regular self exams? Early
detection is our best protection. And remember that men get breast cancer
too.
Thank you for visiting my website.
Hugs, Barbara Jo ONE HUNDRED WALKS/ONE MILLION DOLLARS "I walk because I can't walk away" |
