The walk will be 26.2 miles long, or more recognizable as the length of a marathon. I think that's significant as battling cancer is often best thought in terms of a marathon - it's a long race.
I'll be walking in Washington, DC - where Ellicia found special memories on our last trip. And significantly, it's the weekend of her birthday - she would have been 41.
Avon's foundation requires a commitment to ensure the successful goal of the walkers. Each walker must make a commitment of a minimum of $1800 in contributions.
I am asking for YOUR help. I'd like to blow past that goal, personally. Breast cancer, like so many cancers, is a horrible disease. We need to keep funding the research to DEFEAT this disease - before it claims too many more of our mothers, wives, daughters, sisters... and little known fact, the men in our society, too.
Please, go to my Avon website where you can donate directly.
If that doesn't work, then you can also click the button below, and those donations will go 100% to the walk.
Thank you for your support. It'll be a long, hard walk... but, as Ellicia taught me, anything is possible.
A special thank you to the following blogs for highlighting our cause:
- Tanker Brothers
- Blackfive
- Love, Mom (Notes from the Fridge)
- Here, There, and Back Again
- Most Certainly Not!
- SpouseBUZZ

I KNOW "anything is possible."
Love,
Mr. Stanly,
I sent you a note in your email box...it may have been spammed...
The ladies at SpouseBuzz would like to have you on SB Radio, to talk about breast cancer, your experience, and hopefully raise awareness, and money for a good cause!

Hello Eagle
on this issue I am fully agree with you. but If we want to combat against a dreadful disease like cancer we need a comprehensive knowledge of the cancer symptoms that can lead to the infliction of the disease which would help us to nullify its consequences at the elementary level.
thank you
