Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

My wonderful wife Summer is taking part in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in San Francisco next month. "Walk" makes it sound easy; it’s almost 40 miles, spread over two days.  Breast cancer is a terrible disease that has touched our family and, I know, some of your families too.  Summer wants to raise $3,500 towards research and she’s 75% of the way there.  Can you help?

Just click here to donate.

Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country.  There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance.  And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations.
