The winners of the raffle at Bradford Pawn were Chris Jackson and
Randy Clanton, both employees at Browns Ferry Nuclear
Plant. People may still Donate to the Cause!

Hi! Many of you already
know that this year, I'll be participating in a very special event
called the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of
other women and men. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day for the Cure
are invested in breast cancer research and community programs.
Virtually every major advance in breast cancer in the last 25 years
has been impacted by a Susan G. Komen grant.
I've agreed to raise at least $2,300 in donations. Wow! That's a
lot, but so is 60 miles in a 3 day period. But that is why I signed
up for this. I wanted to do something big, and this is the biggest
and boldest event in fund raising for breast cancer. We've had
several successful fund raising events as a team, but we haven't
quite met our goal. So now I am asking for help. Would you please
consider making a donation? If you donate $25 before August 2nd, we
will enter your name in a drawing for a $500 store credit at
Bradford's Jewelry and Pawn, located in Athens.
You can give on line at www.The3Day.org or print out a donation form to
send in by mail. Just follow the link below to visit my personal
fund raising Web page and make a donation. You can also call
800-996-3DAY to donate over the phone or contact me to donate in
person. Please feel free to forward this link to anyone you think
may be interested helping us reach our goal and donating to this
cause.
Please remember to contact me & donate by August 2nd if you are
interested in the drawing for the $500 credit at Bradford's Jewelry
and Pawn.
One person is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes in
the United States. That's why I'm walking so far. To do something
bold about breast cancer. Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Amy

Why I'm Walking
My team captain, Amy, has wanted to walk in the 3day for several
years, and has encouraged me to join her in the past. Two things
kept me from the commitment: 3 days away from my girls, and raising
$2300. But this year, when she mentioned the event again, we both
signed up within a few minutes.
Fundraising ideas came flooding in,
and we have been excited ever since. So, why do I want to walk this
year? Because I can! I am not sick. I have not been diagnosed with
any type of cancer. I am walking for those who have lost the battle,
for those who are still fighting, and for those who may face it in
the future. Why shouldn't I?
I am approaching my 36th birthday and I have a wonderful husband and
two beautiful children. Susan G. Komen was 36 years old when she
lost her battle with breast cancer and she left behind a husband and
two small children. This walk is helping to make her dying wish a
reality.
Instead of asking "Why?" I just asked "Why not?". I am perfectly
capable of helping in the fight against breast cancer, so this year
I will participate in the boldest event in history.
Join me!
Updates
05/28/10 We have the most amazing friends and family! Our Kiddie
Carnival event was not only a success, but we had a great time. We
couldn't have pulled it off without our moms, dads, siblings and of
course Papaw Fred! We cannot show enough gratitude to the Athens
Lions Club. Walking 60 miles in 3 days won't be easy, but we can
certainly use the hard work and dedication of the Lions Club members
to inspire us not to give up. We continue to be amazed at the
outpour of support we receive for this great cause!
07/20/10 Our current fund raiser is a raffle for a $500 store credit
at Bradford's Pawn & Jewelry. Tickets are $25 each and only 100 will
be sold (if we can sell that many). Two drawings will be held, so
that increases your chances of winning! Just to make it easy for
you, we will enter your name into the drawing if you make a $25
donation by August 2nd. Donate here, or contact me to donate in
person :)
Keychains are still being sold, too. Let us know if you are
interested in buying one. They make great gifts and look really cute
as zipper pulls on bags and back packs!
