*** If I told you I was walking 60 miles for breast cancer ... would you support me? ***

Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my fundraising webpage. My name is Angie Blanken, and I will be participating in the Avon 3-day walk for breast cancer in Chicago this June.

My Gram is a 9-year breast cancer survivor. I'm so blessed to have her in my life. (above is a photo of the two of us). She is one of the many reasons I decided to participate in this walk. :)

Over the course of 3 days this June, I will walk 60 miles ... sleep in a tent ... and shower in a truck. Why? To raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. 1 in 8 women will have breast cancer at some point during their lives. I want to do something to help change that. I can't do it alone, though. I need your help. Please join me in this cause. I've agreed to raise $1,900 in pledges by May 17, 2002, and I really need your help. Because there is hope where there is action, I'm asking you to contribute. Your contribution can make a serious impact. Would you consider offering your support? Every dollar counts.

"The Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day, Chicago"
This June, thousands of people will walk 60 miles from Kenosha to Chicago in a remarkable event called the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day. It's 72 hours of all-out commitment to the cause--a living, moving monument to the power of human kindness. We're walking to honor our loved ones, to celebrate breast cancer survivors, to help more people survive this deadly disease, and ultimately, to find the cure that will eradicate breast cancer for good. Net proceeds will benefit the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, to fund better access to care for medically underserved women and to find a cure for breast cancer.
