(Heather Buffington and her Kaju AZ team!)As many of you know, my life has been touched by breast cancer. My natural mother passed away from it many years ago, and I have had a couple of "scares" in my young life. I have a daughter and a son that both have a very real potential of contracting the disease. Because of this and for the many people I have met in my life that have either survived breast cancer or lost someone they loved to it, this year, I'll be participating in a very special event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day. I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
I've agreed to raise at least $2300.00 in donations. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of $50.00 or more? Keep in mind how far I'm walking - and how hard I'll have to train. You can donate online HERE. You can also call 800.996.3DAY to donate over the phone.
According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, more than 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. 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,
Heather Jean Buffington
