Well, I've committed to the Avon Walk which will take place in Washington DC the first weekend in May. It's a little less than a month away and it’s a big commitment, walking all those miles and raising all this money, but, as we know far too well, breast cancer is a big disease. I'v had a quote at the bottom of my site since I started blogging, "If you think research is expensive you should try disease. Funds are needed to raise awareness and find a cure." That statement is there because I believe it with all my heart, although I pray that no one ever has to "try disease". With your support we'll come closer to a cure and maybe one day that prayer will be an answered prayer.
Since being diagnosed I have said that ridding my body of this life threatening disease will take many steps, from the first 3 lumpectomies to years requiring medication and every step in between. Each successful step is necessary in order to move on to the next. For me, and for thousands of women, this walk is a step, not only figuratively, but literally countless steps towards a cure.
I am determined to do everything I can to be cured of my cancer. My ultimate dream is that no woman ever have to take this journey. I quickly learned after my diagnosis how very important it is to have a strong support system. It is vital. Some days it's all you have. I've been blessed to be surrounded with such a support system. So much so that some of them have chosen to show their support for me by joining me on my walk.
My teammates and I are defiintely commited to this walk but we can not do it without you. We need you as our support system. To walk collectively as Team "Tammy's Ta-Ta's" each of us must raise $1,800 in donations. Make a difference in my life and in the lives of thousands of women - please donate.
Thank you SO much for you support!
