Now as you may or may not know I love doing 5k's. Now I've also set a goal to do a 10k (which I have yet to accomplish or sign up for)... and then for some reason I decided to sign up for a half marathon that will take place in December. Now to get ready for that and to feel like I am helping out a cause I decided to sign up for the AVON Walk for Breast Cancer. The weekend walk is in San Francisco on September 28-29th. I will walk 26.2 miles the first day and then 13 miles the second day. CRAZY RIGHT!!!
Well that isn't the part I am the most nervous for. In order to participate in the walk I need to fundraise $1800 for the cause. Now I had no idea how much this foundation does for Breast Cancer Awareness and Treatment. I have no problem trying to get the money for the cause, I am just a tad bit anxious about the amount. I signed up almost 2 weeks ago and have raised $120. Now I'm grateful for those who have already helped, but I still have a long way to go.
That is where all of my lovely friends, family members, co workers come into play! Now I know none of us are wealthy and we all have our struggles, but I am hoping you will be able to help. Now the minimum donation is $5 dollars. That is one trip to Taco Bell or another favorite fast food joint. Now I know it is a small sacrifice to ask you to forgo one trip and donate it to the Breast cancer walk, but that is what I am asking from each of you. Each and every little bit will help with cancer research, early detection, and care for those who are battling now.
Now I will jump off that soap box, and just let you know that I love you all and am grateful for you whether or not you donate. And please have patience with me as I continue to fundraise. I will keep posting messages on facebook and reminders. The average person needs 7 reminders before they take action, so I need to keep at it.
As for the donation process it is really easy, you can make the donation online at www.avonwalk.org and click the donate button and then put in my name (Sarah Jagger) or you can write a check to AVON Walk for Breast Cancer and either mail it to me or give it to me in person. (please make a comment if you need my address)
***Please also let me know if you are making the donation in the name of someone who is or has battled breast cancer. I am making a shirt for the walk of all those I am walking for, and would love to add to that list!
I would also like to thank everyone who has already donated and supported me so far, you are wonderful!
And thank you for reading if you are here at the end of the message!!
