The Burnman Experience life from a different perspective

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Boston 2009

The time for the Mak­ing Strides Against Breast Can­cer event in Boston is right around the cor­ner.  On Octo­ber 4th I will be join­ing my wife and chil­dren to walk along the Charles River in sup­port of the women and men (yes, men can get breast can­cer too) who live with, or have died from, breast can­cer.  This will be my sec­ond Mak­ing Strides walk, and I am really look­ing for­ward to participating.

Mak­ing Strides Against Breast Can­cer is your oppor­tu­nity to honor breast can­cer sur­vivors, remem­ber peo­ple we have lost, and raise funds and aware­ness to help end this dis­ease. Mak­ing Strides is not a race; it is a cel­e­bra­tion of sur­vivor­ship, an occa­sion to express hope, and a shared goal to end a dis­ease that threat­ens the lives of so many peo­ple we love.

My wife is lead­ing a team of fundrais­ers with a goal of rais­ing US $2,000 for the Amer­i­can Can­cer Society’s efforts to edu­cate about, and erad­i­cate, breast can­cer.  I will be email every­one on my con­tact list soon ask­ing for dona­tions for this wor­thy cause.  Please visit my Mak­ing Strides pro­file page and make a dona­tion.  It doesn’t mat­ter how much or how lit­tle, every dol­lar raised is one step closer to find­ing a cure.
