I signed up for the Revlon Run/Walk - which is next Saturday, May 8th in Los Angeles. The RR/W raises funds for women's cancer research, counseling and outreach. These are the beneficiaries for this year.
In late 2008, my grandmother passed away due to complications from breast cancer. In 2005, a friend of mine was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had to have her ovaries removed - at the age of 21. Even if you don't feel like you are affected by cancer, chances are you will be.
Here is the link for my fundraising page - please donate whatever you can, every little bit helps! My current goal is $150 and I have $50 so far as well as some offline pledges. Of course, 100% of your donations are tax-deductible!
If you donate, send me an email or leave me a comment and I will send you a handmade thank you package.
And if you're in the LA area, sign up to participate next Saturday!
Looks like an amazing cause to join. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to run the 5k also! My grandma passed of cancer so my mom, aunts and I run it then go visit her gravestone each year for Mother's Day weekend.
