Jessica Shawl's Avon Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk - Pledge Page
Life is full of challenges and I have just taken on a very special and powerful one. The weekend of July 13, I will be joining over 3,000 participants in the Avon Breast Cancer 3-day, 60-mile walk from San Jose to San Francisco in an effort to raise money to combat breast cancer. I have a personal goal to raise $4000 in pledges by June 14. If you can help me meet this goal, it would be greatly appreciated.
My mother (she and I are pictured here) was diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer Nov 2001. She’s doing great, largely in part because she has access to regular medical care. Millions of women in the United States do not. The funds raised for this event, will help save the lives of these medically underserved women.
Did you know?
Right now there are over 1,000,000 women in the United States with undetected breast cancer
That 70% of those women have absolutely no risk factors for breast cancer. They don’t even know they should be checking
That somewhere in the United States someone’s wife, daughter, sister, mother, aunt or very best friend is diagnosed with breast cancer every 3 minutes….and every 13 minutes breast cancer claims another life
These are staggering facts, with frightening numbers. The good news is that this is a fight that together, we absolutely can do something about, but I need your help.
You know that fundraising can be challenging – even in the best of times. Many things have changed in our world since September 11th, but the one thing we cannot let these horrific events change is our kindness. We must be kind without reservation. Reaching out to help those who will never even know our name is a beautiful example of kindness.
I would never ask you to do something that I wouldn’t do myself. For this reason I have started my fundraising with a personal pledge of $300. I need to reach my goal of $4000 by June 14. Please make a tax-deductible pledge to help reach this goal. The money raised will go towards non-profit breast health programs, state of the art medical research and to provide support for medically underserved women in the United States.
This year, you can go online to donate and use your debit or credit card. You’ll need to know that I’m walker #2957 in San Francisco. Your payment can also be split into 10-monthly installments.
Please note: only enter my participation number, not my name, to find me in the database...you'll get an error if you try to enter both.
Challenge!! - can you part with $25 per month? With this small amount, over 10 months, your donation will be $250!
Thank you so much for supporting me in this endeavor!
