3 day walk for Breast Cancer - sponsor a walker!

Have you been thinking that it would be nice to do something in honor of a loved one that has or had breast cancer? You might not have much to give, but the 3DayMom walkers don't need much for their walk either. The 3DayMoms will be walking in the 3 days 60 miles walk this October in Philadelphia and aach member has committed to raise $2,200.00 for the Susan G Komen Foundation. Any amount that can be given to support their walk is a large help to their efforts. If you can make just a $5 donation you can help make a difference in the lives of so many men and women fighting against breast cancer.

Most often considered a woman's cancer, the American Cancer Society estimated in a 2005-2006 document that approximately 1,690 cases of breast cancer would occur amoung men, with a possible 460 male deaths from breast cancer.

Women are by far the most affected - with the American Cancer Society stating that:

"About 212,920 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2006. About 40,970 women will die from the disease this year. Right now there are slightly over 2 million women living in the United States who have been treated for breast cancer."

Please help stop breast cancer. Consider supporting the 3DayMom walkers in their walk, or if you can not offer financial support please consider passing the word about their cause.

Thank you.
