If we gave you a picture, showed you her face, and told you she has BREAST CANCER, how far would you walk to SAVE HER LIFE?

For me, that question was quite simple to answer.  As far as I had to.  AVON presented me with a challenge as well as an opportunity to be part of something HUGE.  To raise money for the awareness and early dection of BREAST CANCER.  This way, I might be able to give to others what my mother had received ... A FIGHTING CHANCE. In October of 1999, Avon, in partnership with Palotta Teamworks, held the first annual Atlanta 3Day.  The Avon Breast Cancer 3Day, already making millions in other cities across the country, chose to include Atlanta in its fund-raising efforts.  In 1999, more than 2500 incredible indivudials teamed up as walkers and crew members to make the Atlanta 3Day a very successful experience.  I was lucky enough to be one of those walkers.  I walked, I laughed, I cried and I made many, many friends along the way.  Not only is this an annual event for Atlanta, but I have made it an annual event for myself as well.  I walked again in September 2000 with over 3300 participants, in October of 2001 with the numbers still growing ... and I am walking again in 2002. I have made scrapbooks, pillows, photo albums, T-shirts and wall hangings as mementos of this amazing journey.  My favorite of these, is this online photo album.  I want to share my experiences with as many people as possible.  I want everyone to be aware of what so many people are doing to help with this cause.  It is SERIOUS and we are making some SERIOUS money to go towards ... FINDING A CURE!!!
