From Lori Nelson-Eggers:
I have
taken on an incredible challenge. On September 19, 2008, I'll be walking 60
miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of
other women and men taking this journey with me.
It's for an event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen
for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Every
advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in
the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. They are
working hard to build a future without breast cancer.
Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed
with breast cancer. My mother, Donna, was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 1/2
years ago and is now cancer free...That's why I'm walking in the 3-Day. Because
everyone deserves a lifetime.
I have agreed to raise at least $2,200 in donations. I know I can raise even
more than that and have set my personal goal at $3,000. I could use your help!
Please consider making a generous donation... Keeping in mind how far I am
walking - and how hard I will have to train.
Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a
donation. Please also ask your employer if they will double your donation with a
matching gift program. If you don't want to donate online, please download and
print a donation form and mail it to the address on the form. Or you can call
800.996.3DAY to donate over the phone. I would like to reach my fundraising goal
by July 15th, so please don't delay!
Thank you for taking the time to read this email, and thank you for your
support.
P.S. Don't wait - donate today!
