60 miles is nothing compared to fighting for 6 years!!







Dear Family and Friends:


I will be participating in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, August 8-10, in Chicago with a team of four friends. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk is a walk to raise money to defeat breast cancer. We will walk about 20 miles a day for 3 days!

I am walking in memory of my Mother, Judy Sinks. She died in 1996 from breast cancer after fighting for 6 years. There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think about her. She wasn’t there for my high school graduation or when I graduated from college. She wasn’t there when I married my best friend or when my girls Sarah and Rachel were born. Most importantly, she isn’t here!

I'm not only walking for my Mom. I’m also walking for my girls with the hope that they will never have to hear "You have breast cancer."

Please consider helping me meet the minimum amount of $2,200.00 each participant must raise for the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Even a small donation can make a difference. By doing so, we can make the world a better place.

You can donate by clicking on the link in the top lefthand corner: Laura’s Donation Page.

Please keep my team in your thoughts and prayers while we prepare and participate in the Chicago 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer. Thank you for your support!

Laura
