I really should have posted this a week or more ago, so I apologize off the bat for the short notice. On Mother's Day (yes, that's THIS Sunday!) I am participating in a fundraising walk for the Y-Me Breast Cancer Support Foundation. My sister Lisa and a bunch of my friends are also participating, spurred on by Stacey Meyer, a former soccer teammate, who works for Genomic Health. Genomic Health is actually flying me to California so that I can participate in honor of Mom.
From the Y-Me website:
Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization provides programs and services to those who are touched by breast cancer. The 24-hour Y-ME National Breast Cancer Hotline is among its most well-known programs, and is the only 24-hour hotline in the country that is staffed entirely by trained peer counselors who are breast cancer survivors. The Hotline and all of Y-ME's programs are offered free of charge to those who need them. Y-ME aims to ensure that no one faces breast cancer alone and I hope that you will help me support this important cause.
If you would like to donate, you can visit my personal walk page.
Thank you.
