Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

My sister, as usual has signed up for a huge challenge. She will be participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Denver. Our family lost one grandmother to breast cancer and we have another grandmother that is a breast cancer survivor. I'm very proud of my sister for her ambitious effort.

On June 25 & 26, Desiree Jewell and Lisa Sutton of "The Cleavage Crusaders" will be among thousands of people dedicating their weekend to walking as part of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.


Lisa and I will walk at least 26.2 MILES and possibly as far as a marathon and a half...39.3 miles. Either way, it's a very long walk!

Together, we'll spend the next TWO months training, fundraising, and preparing for the event. It's the biggest challenge we've ever taken on, but we're very excited about doing it because it will make a real difference to the millions of people affected by breast cancer.


EACH team member commits to raising at least $1,800 to participate; our team goal is $3,600 and we MUST hit our goal! With only two months to raise this much money, it's never too early to start asking for donations! Even the smallest donation will make a HUGE difference in the fight for breast cancer!


Please help to support our efforts and the breast cancer cause by making a generous contribution. You can make your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message, which will bring you to our "Cleavage Crusaders" team page where you can learn more about our reasons for walking. You can also make donations via check, just see us for more details!


The money raised goes to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, whose mission is to fund access to care and finding a cure. They provide funding to organizations all over the country in five areas: medical research, clinical care, support services, educational and advocacy seminars, and community-based, non-profit early detection breast health programs. Much of the money raised will stay right here to help people in our city.


Thank you in advance for your support!!! We can't do it without you!
