| This summer I have been facing many early Saturday mornings with long runs preparing for the 2008 Chicago Marathon. I completed a Half Marathon and will be running 20 miles in the Nike Ready to Run. I'm getting so much closer to Marathon day which will be held on Sunday, October 12. This has been one of my goals that I have always wanted to accomplish. So together, my childhood friend Griselda and I have been training every Saturday morning in Chicago. We were discussing as to what organization we were going to raise funds for and since we both have had friends and family who have been affected by breast cancer, we decided to be part of the Pink Streak team. I have an aunt who recently finished receiving treatment and is doing well, but I also have an aunt who has passed away from breast cancer.
So here I am asking for your help. I am running this for my two aunts and for all those women who need additional support. These funds go right here in our community. Some of these include support groups, educational programming and public outreach, a wig & prosthesis bank for women with limited financial means, and a state-wide grassroots advocacy program that works to secure government funding of research and access to high quality health care for all.
I am required to raise a minimum of $850 as part of the Pink Streak team for Network of Strength. I know with the help of all of you we can exceed that amount!
Thank you in advance for your support!
Talk to you all soon and hope to see your faces on race day!
With lots of love,
Anabell |
