Dear Friends and Family,
It’s that time of year again: my annual Walking Warriors Battling Breast Cancer Walk is just around the corner, and I can’t wait!
To all of you who have supported me in past Walks, you have my deepest thanks, and I welcome you back as an important part of my “team.” I do this walk for so many reasons:
Because there are three million women in the United States living with breast cancer—and one third of them don’t even know it.
Because no one knows what causes breast cancer or how it can be prevented or cured.
And because I know too many people who have struggled with and been affected by this awful disease.
I have to admit: I also do it because it’s one of the best weekend I have all year! It’s a community of many diverse people coming together with one single goal— to end breast cancer! We are greeted as heroes with every step. It’s very powerful, and it’s a lot of fun!
One of the best parts of every WWBBC walk is learning how some of the funds we raised will be used. Organizations large and small throughout our community and all over the country receive grants from the WWBBC to allow women and men to receive the screening, support and treatment they require regardless of their ability to pay, and to fund leading-edge research. All because of the support I receive from you.
I want to ask you to please donate again this year to make an even bigger impact in the lives of those who so desperately need it. To make a tax-deductible contribution, simply click on the link at the bottom of this message. If you prefer to write a check, please make it payable to “WWBBC” and send it to me. Thank you for your continued support.
With Love,
Shiron
