Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk Part 2

Ok... Now that I have your attention... Greg, Scott, Chris, Tommy, John, Steve, Ken, Dave, Clay, Jeff, Dan, Trevor, Jason, Mark, Brian, Jim, Tim, Todd, Matt, Tony, Doug, Andy, Craig and Stu!

It's time to re-visit a worthy cause!  We've saved the whales, the Baby Seals, the Sea Otter... now its time we save something near and dear to all us!

Let's save the Breasts! 

Boys!  We certainly don't want these to go the way of the DoDo Bird, so it's time to act now!  My sister (not pictured above... really!) is doing something for the cause, and I say we help where we can!

All kidding aside, My sister is walking for the cure! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

Here's the request once again from my sister:

On May 30, 2007, I celebrated an anniversary; 10 years since cancer was removed from my body. In February 2007, my friend, Betsy, asked if I would walk 60 miles with her in the Breast Cancer 3-Day event October 12-14 in Atlanta, Georgia. She has had breast cancer this past year and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation has helped her financially in this battle. She would like to give something back. I said I would begin training and walk beside her every step of the way in the 3-Day and the journey beyond. Betsy has a wonderful husband, Shawn, and 3 very wonderful children, Luke (10), Hannah (9) and Joseph (5).

These are some of the reasons I walk:

• Because I can and I am grateful . . . I’m alive and well 10 years later.
• Because I want to contribute to the the cause . . . A CURE for Breast Cancer
• Because I want to honor those women in my life who have lived inspiring lives and fought the fight against cancer gallantly.
• and Because I want to honor those I dearly miss in my life. . . I have lost 3 aunts, 3 uncles, and 3 close friends to cancer and disease in the past 5 years.

 

Although I did not have breast cancer, I believe that research done to find a cure for breast cancer benefits us all and the strides made in finding a cure in one type of cancer will surely benefit many if not all types of cancer.

Please join me in Celebration for lives fully lived. It is with a grateful heart and much hope and encouragement that I prepare to walk this walk.

I must raise $2200 in order to participate. I hope to raise much more. I invite you to support me and join the global movement to end breast cancer forever.

Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Kelly Carmichael Brustman

PS. If you would like for me to walk in honor of someone, please let me know. I will carry their names with me on the 60-mile walk, and in my heart long after.
