Ladies I know I can count on you....

Dear Friend,
This year I have signed up to walk in the Oct. 18 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Dover, and I’m hoping you’ll support me. I know that there are a lot of breast cancer events out there, but Making Stridesis my choicebecause funds raised enable the American Cancer Society to help people stay well, get well from breast cancer, find cures, and to fight back on the local, state, and federal level. With your help, we can save lives.
They say that every donation makes a difference, and it really is true. I know that times are tighter than normal for many of us, but if you can spare even $5, it truly will make a difference. If everyone walking in Making Strides this year were able to raise just $5 more, we would raise an additional $3 million to fight breast cancer. Imagine what an incredible difference we could make together!
To support me in my efforts, please visit my personal page. Ifpossible, I’d love for you to join my team and walk with me. If not, please support my efforts with a donation of whatever amount you can spare.
As a little extra inspiration, I thought you might like to know a few of the ways your donation will help the American Cancer Society save lives every day:

• More people in our community will have the information and tools they need to help prevent breast cancer or find it early.
• More people with breast cancer will have a place to turn- day or night -to help themthrough every step of their cancer journey, whether it’s a free ride to treatment, a temporary place to stay near their treatment center, or just talking to someone who has "been there." Cancer information specialists are available 24/7, 365 days a year at: 1.800.227.2345.
• More progress will be made toward finding breast cancer’s causes and cures. The American Cancer Society has played a role in nearly every major breast cancer breakthrough of the last century, which have led to the discovery of lifesaving breast cancer treatments like Tamoxifen and Herceptin. You will help us find more.
• More women like our own mothers, aunts, daughters, sisters, and grandmothers will have access to lifesaving mammograms and treatment they need.

Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against breast cancer. Whatever your reasons, I hope you’ll choose to make a difference by signing up to walk with me or by making a donation online to support my effort. Together we will make a difference, make history, and make strides.
Sincerely,


Patricia Byrnes
