Hello:
We need your help supporting a cause that has
possibly impacted you, your family, friends, or coworkers.
My name is Steve Wood and I am a Battalion Chief
with the Brea Fire Department and my wife Debbi is currently battling
her second bout of breast cancer which has now spread into her bones.
This year, on Saturday, May 13th, my family and I
will be participating in the Revlon Run/Walk for Cancer. This will be
our fourth trip to the Walk.
The reason for my sharing this with you is that when
we walk, my daughter, a junior in high school, decided she would make
pink ribbon pins and put people's names on the ribbons.
What we are looking for is names of people who have
survived breast cancer, going through it now, and those who have
succumbed to it.
We will make a ribbon for each name that is given to
us and then when the walk is done, we will send the ribbon back to the
person who originally requested it.
In addition to getting names for ribbons, we are
looking for donations for the walk. You can be part of Los Angeles'
biggest fundraiser for women's cancers - distributing nearly $37
million over the past 12 years.
Over 50,000 men, women and children will converge at
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, May 13th - Mother's Day
weekend in an amazing display of support for the women in our lives.
Please share with us the continued hope provided by
medical breakthroughs funded from Run/Walk proceeds.
Those that participate at this event witness courage
as thousands of survivors cross the finish line, and feel the strength
as Los Angeles unites to find a cure for women's cancers.
Whether you are a survivor celebrating life, a
daughter supporting her mother, a husband honoring his wife, or
sisters and friends joining together, you'll be glad you joined this
important fight against women's cancers.
Donations can be made directly to the following
website:
http://www.revlonrunwalk.com/la/html.main/home.html or
inquiries can be sent to my wife at
dminerwood@adelphia.net.
Checks should be made to the Revlon Run/Walk for
Cancer, and are 100% tax deductible.
If you would like to walk with us, we would love to
have you there with us!
Our goal is to raise over $2,000, but the most
important thing is get as many ribbons (names) as we can.
Thank you!!!
