Today I’m posting to ask for your donations as I prepare to take part in the 15th Anniversary of the Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure. The Phoenix Race is one of the largest 5K runs/fitness walks in Arizona, benefiting breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs. For more information about the Phoenix Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the Phoenix Race, visit www.KomenPhoenix.org.

I am walking as a part of the Arizona Birth Network Team. Most of you know that the ABN is my baby, co-founded by myself and Mani over three years ago. One of the founding board members of the Birth Network, Kristan Landry, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in early 2006. Her inspirational and courageous fight against this disease is what initially brought me to this event, and I walk this year for Kristan, and for all the other women who are fighting the same fight.

I have set a donation goal of $500.00. If each of you would consider donating just $25-$50 I can easily surpass this goal. Please use the link below to donate online quickly & securely. You will receive email confirmation and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation. I thank you in advance for your support, and really truly appreciate your generosity.
