Hello everyone. My name is Tina and I have been on this board for over two years now and have met some amazing people. I wanted to reach out to everyone in an effort to get some support for the upcoming 3-Day Breast Cancer walk that I will be participating in. I did the walk last year and enjoyed every minute of it. Because I have lost the weight and I have the ability to walk 60 miles, I want to continue doing this walk for as long as I can. I am asking that you please support my fundraising efforts so that I can participate. I must meet a minimum of $2,300 in donations or I cannot participate. The walk is October 9-11 and I have quite a ways to go before getting to my fundraising goal. If you are able to make a donation, regardless of size, I ask that you visit my web page at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

I appreciate your attention and pray that my fellow lapbanders can help me. Thanks again.

So...the walk begins in 11 days and I still have a long way to go before reaching the minimum goal set by the walk. I'm asking you guys for your help. Participating in this walk is very important to me...I really want to do it again. Last year was very inspiring and I can't wait to participate again. If you are interested in donating, please follow the link on the post above and it will take you to my page. I thank everyone in advance and I hope you all wish me luck. Thanks, guys!

That's so awesome Tina! I will definitely visit your page and make a donation on Thurs (pay day). Will you send me a note to remind me?

Hope all else is well with you!

Val

Thanks, Val. Every little bit helps. I truly appreciate it. I'm so determined to get to that amount so I can walk. I'm so excited but a little nervous that I'm doing it by myself this year. Last year I put together a team and there were five of us walking together...this year I'm all alone. Wish me luck.

You're going to do great Tina! Just making a donation now.

It's such an amazing organization--I just did the Chicago Komen 5k last weekend and it was so inspiring!

I'll be walking with you in spirit!
