Dedicated to Barb, Tim and their daughter Katie
Please read their story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Avon Breast Cancer Walk page. For the 8th year in a row, I have committed a weekend to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I spent 2000-2001 WALKING in 3 sixty mile events (San Diego and 2 Washington DC) and have CREWED the 2002-2006 events (all Wash DC). In May 2007, I will once again be part of the crew that supports all the walkers.

Why do I continue to support the cause? See the photo above? It's a young girl named Katie who lost her mom, Barb, to breast cancer in November 2005. Those of you who supported me in 2006 know that I dedicated the weekend to Katie and her parents.

No one should lose a loved one to breast cancer, especially a little girl.

I first met Tim and Barb in 2001. Barb was 33 years young and had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. She had several years of good health until early in 2005 when the cancer returned and spread into her lungs and spine.

Her husband Tim emailed me just before she passed: "I never realized how painful cancer can be. When Barb was treated for cancer 4 years ago it was only the medication that made her ill. I didn't know how painful the final stage can be. I think most people see celebrities who are diagnosed, have some treatment and everything is just fine. Barb was in constant pain, paralyzed from the waist down and gasping for air.

"... you've been such a strong breast cancer advocate and I wanted to thank you and encourage you. Barb is leaving behind a beautiful daughter. Please keep up the fight so women like Barbara can live and daughters like Katie can grow up with a mom." Sincerely - Tim and Katie

THIS IS WHY I CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE!

In 2006 you helped me raise over $24,000! For the 2007 Walk, my goal is to exceed $25,000 in the fight against breast cancer!

No amount is too small.

Thank you
