How You Can Help

We've had a few questions about the challenge we've taken on for this summer: walking 60 miles in 3 days to raise support for breast cancer research during the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the cure.

You can read as much as your heart desires on this website: http://www.the3day.org/

But here I'll break down some of the important parts.



  • The Walk is Friday - Sunday, July 29-31, 2011.

  • Proceeds fund global breast cancer research as well as local community programs that may support screening, treament, and education.

  • We each have committed to raising at least $2300. We set our "team" goal at $5000. We are really hoping to go above and beyond that through the donations of our family and friends, and fundraising events over the next few months.

  • To donate, you can access a professional page on our profile or you can send us a check or cash. We'll take care of it for you and give you a receipt to file with your records (reminder: all donations are tax-deductible).


Please visit the site that I linked above and search for either of our names to find our profiles. From there you can donate online with a bank card, or you can open a form and print it out, if you'd rather mail in a check. I'd like to remind you that we each have to raise a minimum of $2300, so if you can't decide which of us to sponsor, split it in two! There are no popularity contests in charity OR marriage.
