Breast Cancer 3-Day

For many years, I have wanted to do the San Francisco Bay Area "Breast Cancer 3-day" and this year I will finally do it. On September 5- 7, I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men.

I've agreed to raise at least $2,200 in donations. I know I can raise even more than that, and have set my personal goal at $5,000. So I need your help.

I will be walking as part of a team called "Trisha's Trailblazers." Trisha is a 32-year old mother and wife who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). While I don't know Trisha personally, she is a friend of a friend and I was touched by her story as we are close in age, we are both wives and mothers. I will walk to support Trisha in her fight against breast cancer. You can read about Trisha's story here: http://trishafaggiolly.blogspot.com/

I will also walk in honor of my mother-in-law, Margaret Lu, who is a breast cancer survivor, an incredible woman, a selfless mom, and a loving grandma to my two boys.

And, I will walk in honor/rememberance/support of all of the other women who have battled breast cancer.

According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, more than 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. That’s why I’m walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
