On June 8-10, 2007, I'll be participating in a very special event called The Weekend to End Breast Cancer - I'm walking because I don't want Cadence (Cadence is my year old daughter) to grow up in a world with Breast Cancer!

I'll walk 60 kilometers over the course of one weekend with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, treatment, and services through the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.

I've agreed to raise at least $2,000, but I've set my personal goal at $3000. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of $50? Use the link at the bottom of this email, and go visit my site - and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind how far I'm walking - and how hard I'll have to train.

According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 20,500 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 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!
