Susan Koman Foundation - 2007 Atlanta Breast Cancer 3-Day

I think we all probably know someone that has been diagnosed with some type of cancer and the dramatic impact it can have on everyone's lives. Be it the emotional stress of a new diagnosis or the physical stress of having to take on duties that a debilitated spouse used to be able to do.

Here in Atlanta is an inspiring story I found written by Angie Smith:

Last year, my friend Claire and I decided to take on the challenge of The 3 Day. We sent countless emails, had a couple of fundraisers, and trained for months. Finally, the big event arrived. We walked 60 miles in laughter and in tears. We camped out in ice and rain. We nursed our blisters, massaged our sore feet, and thawed out our frozen hands. It was truly an amazing experience. We loved it so much that we both decided to do it again this year!

Once again, I am walking in honor of Mom II and her heroic victory over breast cancer!

I sincerely hope that you will help me to exceed my goal of $6,000.

Net proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen (some say "Korman") Breast Cancer Foundation and the National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

I have donated to her cause and encourage everyone to do the same. Even $1 can make a difference and save lives! To donate to her cause, please click here and make a donation.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to read this blog and considering a donation! She has my first name and the last name of my best friend. What a combination! :o)
