Donate to Michelle's Account

Thank you for visiting my pledge page. If you've come this far, you probably already know that I've committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, to spending the next few months training and fundraising, and to walking for an entire weekend. I'm one of thousands of people all over the country who will be doing this in 2003, all to raise funds for the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade and support their mission of providing access to care and finding a cure.

I am walking in memory of Grandma Fran, and will be honored to walk for anyone else close to you. Please let me know their names so I can carry them with me on my journey and feel free to share this web site with other people who may want to lend their support as well.

I'm required to raise a minimum of $1,750 to participate, but I plan to raise much more! But I can't do that without your help. In fact, I'm going to need support from many people to reach my goals, and I'm hoping that I can count on you to be part of my support team.

You can make a donation to my fundraising campaign right here on the website by clicking on "Donate to Michelle's Account." You can even choose to spread out your donation in monthly payments or, if you prefer to write a check, just contact me and I'll send you the form for that.

Over the next few months, I plan to update this page frequently so that all my supporters can follow my progress, so please visit often. You can also visit www.avonwalk.com to find out more information on why this event is so important, and the organizations and people that will be helped by the money we all raise.

Thanks again for your support!
In just ten years, the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade has raised more than $235 million for the cause worldwide. That money goes to support medical research into the possible causes and cure, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance. And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations
Every three minutes, another woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks for helping us work toward changing that statistic.
