Avon Breast Cancer Walk



My wife Corinne is participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, after two of her friends were recently diagnosed with the disease. She has been training very hard for the walk in October, which consists of two half marathons in two days. If you can make a donation on her behalf and help her make her quota, we would greatly appreciate it. Online donations can be made by following the instructions below. If you’d prefer to mail in a donation, I can send you a form. All mailed in donations must be postmarked by September 5th.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sean O’Shea

On Behalf Of Corinne O'Shea
I need your support!

Dear Friends and Family:
As you may know, I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? I didn't, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has become in this country. I have eagerly started with my fundraising and I need your support! I have pledged to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as part of my participation in the walk.
Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of, and cure for, breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance. And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you for your support; you really do make a difference.
