I want to bring awareness to, and hopefully inspire you to consider supporting, the ACS -- the American Cancer Society. Specifically, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and there is a local "Making Strides" walk to raise money for breast cancer research.
On Saturday, October 14th, my wife Amber will be walking 5K in remembrance of her childhood friend Amanda Hamilton who tragically lost her fight with breast cancer this July at the heartbreakingly-young age of 24. Amber will be walking in this team held at Gainesville's NE park (400 NE 16th Ave). You can click on her team (HERE) and give to the ACS in tribute to anyone. You can also mail us any checks or money orders, made out to: The American Cancer Society. This way Amber can take the checks to the event and they can count it as credit for her fundraising efforts. Write me (email) if you need our address.
If you choose to do so, join up with this walk. It begins at 9 AM on 10/14/2006. The information to do so is HERE.
For those of you who wish to give via the internet, you may give with the credit going to Amber's group HERE, or you may give generally (Amber's team won't get credit for raising the amount) HERE or HERE if you prefer.
