I officially kicked off my fundraising for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk

On June 8 - 10, 2007 I will once again participate in the 2 day 60km Weekend to End Breast Cancer. Last year was my first walk and it was the most amazing, inspiring and challenging event that I have participated in and I would not miss it for the world.

I laughed, I cried and I thanked God for giving me the courage to take part in such a worthwhile project. It was one of the thoughest things I have done physically but it was also one of the most rewarding.

Before my sister, Janice, passed away from lung cancer in November 2004, I promised her that I somehow would make a difference in the fight against cancer and when this opportunity presented itself I knew I had to do it.

My sister, Janice, showed me so much courage during her 14 month battle with small cell lung cancer that she inspired me to strive to make a difference whatever way I could.

Some of my fundraising ideas are:

-gift pack of handmade cards for $20.00 donation

-hand knit scarf fundraiser for more than $20.00

-stamp/scrapbook camp fundraiser

-when businesses donate $100.00 I will advertise their business on a t-shirt and where it during the walk

-tag days and donation jars, as well as sell car magnets, pins, wristbands, lanyards and other breast cancer items

If anyone is interested in making a donation and helping with this wonderful cause, you can visit the www.endcancer.ca and type in Judy Preston in the participant name and click on your donation amount. I would be so grateful for the support.
