Walking Together To Defeat Breast Cancer

2008 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

Trish Thackston and Audrey Graziano have joined together to raise money and awareness for breast cancer by participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. On May 3-4, 2008 they will walk nearly 40 miles in Washington DC to raise money for this cause that is very important to them. This year alone, over 180,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Over 40,000 will die. Both women have close family and friends who have battled this disease in recent years.

Trish and Audrey (pictured above) are deeply passionate about the cause and hope that you will join them in the fight against breast cancer. You can support them through their fundraising events detailed below. You can also make a direct donation through either of their official walk pages by clicking on thier name above. In the past two years Trish has raised more than $4,300 to help fight breast cancer. This year Trish and Audrey plan to raise even more through their combined efforts!
