Hello Friends!

I have taken on an incredible challenge. On August 21st, 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, and I plan on raising $2,300to help bring us closer to that goal.

Please consider making a donation. Even spare change will help. also ask your employer if they will double your donation with a matching gift.

I am doing this for the women I've known over the years who have had to battle this horrible cancer. Some have won and some have lost. I am doing this for anyone who know's someone who has gone through this battle. I am doing this for all women who have survived or lost their battle. I am doing this for my future, my childrens future, and the future of all women so that one day a 3-day walk is no longer needed. I am doing this for Grandma Pat, Liz, Betsy, Jody, Jennifer, and Margaret.

Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s why I’m walking in the 3-Day. Because everyone deserves a lifetime.

To make a donation, go to http://www.the3day.org/. Click on Donate Now and search for my personal fundraising page. If you would prefer to write a personal check, please make it payable to "Breast Cancer 3-Day" and mail/give to me. I would like to reach my fundraising goal by August 1st, so please don’t delay!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Kelli

P.S. Don’t wait - donate today!
