As some know I lost my grandmother to cancer in 1997. She didn't suffer long but did suffer and it was the hardest thing to just have to sit back and watch this horrible disease take the zest from a wonderful lady who never let anything get her down. I have thought for years that "I wish there was something I could have done to help"! Now I have 2 friends in my church battling the beast. And I know there is something that I can do to help!
So, this year, I'll be participating in a very special event called the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day for the Cure are invested in breast cancer research and community programs.
I've agreed to raise at least $2,300 in donations. I've set my personal goal as atleast $3000. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation? Keep in mind how far I'm walking - and how hard I'll have to train. You can give online at http://www.The3Day.org/goto/kimmayfield. Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising Web page and make a donation. You can also call 800-996-3DAY to donate over the phone.
At the age of 30 I have realized there is something I can do to help. I can't take the suffering away from those that have been afflicted by the disease. I can't just look the other way either. I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW. I am one of many who would like to find a cure for this disease in our lifetime so our children/nieces/granddaughters/friends/coworkers/neighbors etc don't have to suffer like those before them. I am going to train and walk this 60 miles for my 2 friends who I see smiling all the time and don't let this get them down and out. I AM going to do this walk for those who are suffering now and those who have yet to be diagnosed. I AM doing this walk for the thousands of people who have lost a loved one. I AM doing this walk for me. It's my part of making the world a better place!
One person is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes in the United States. That's why I'm walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Kim Mayfield
