Nancy Dwyer Chapman's Back Battling Breast Cancer in a new 3-Day Walk!
You can't keep a committed Walker or a fighter for the Cause against breast cancer down or off the pavements or away from endurance walks.
For the 4th time I'm walking hard and raising funds in the breast cancer battle, this time in a very special 3-Day, 60 mile Walk run by Just 'Cause, located in Harvard, MA. This exclusive event, limited to 50 walkers, is occurring Friday-Sunday, May 14-16, 2010, a little over 3 months from the day I'm inaugurating this pledge page.
As I've done three times before, I'm walking for my sister-in-law, Dr. Patricia Ruze, who, with my brother John Chapman and their kids Nicky and Paul, has returned to the US and now lives in Harvard, where the Walk begins and ends. And this time I'll be walking with Patty! I couldn't ask for a better, more inspirational teammate.
Of course, I'm also walking in memory of my mother, Eileen P. Chapman, who will have been gone from us five years the week before the Walk. I'm walking to celebrate survivors Robina Carter, Becky Reisman, and my late godmother Aunt Ruth Forste. I'm walking in memory of many others whose names I've worn on my now venerable (since 2002!) sash, both women felled by this disease and women (and one man) who're survivors.
So once again I have committed to spending the next three months training and fundraising, and to walking for an entire weekend. The Just 'Cause Walk in Massachusetts is 60 miles - 20 miles a day for three days.
While I am required to raise a minimum of $1,000 to participate, I hope to raise much more, but in order to do it, I need the generous assistance of friends, family and others who are willing to donate big bucks to beat breast cancer. I need your help, and I call upon you to be generous in your giving to this very, very worthy cause.
I will be making a financial, physical, temporal and emotional commitment to the Just 'Cause 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk. I will be walking publically to celebrate the survivor stories of Patty, Bean, Becky and Aunt Ruth. If you have a person you'd like me to celebrate as well, your donation will guarantee that I will wear on my sash her (or his) name with me on my 2-Day Walk. If you have someone whose memory you would like me to honor, your donation will guarantee I walk in remembrance of that person as well.
"Hope springs eternal in the human breast," and with your generous help, we can help to make the hope of better detection, care and a cure possible.
All the best,
Nancy
