Doing the Avon Walk May 4-5
Dear Friends,
I am again walking the Avon 39.3 walk on May 4-5. I chose the AVON walk because, after all, I was treated at the Johns Hopkins Avon Breast Center. Actually, I feel it is a miracle and personal victory to me that I can do this at all because Taxol gave me permanent Neuropathy, and I thought activity such as this would be forever out of reach. Please take a moment to visit my fundraising page to learn more about the Avon Foundation's work, and, if you are so inclined, to make a contribution supporting my walk. Thanks for Considering.
