Dear Friends,

This year I have signed up to walk in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and I'm hoping you'll support me. Why Making Strides? Because the American Cancer Society invests the funds I raise in a responsible and effective way, fighting breast cancer on many fronts: groundbreaking research, public awareness and education campaigns, advocacy at the federal and state level to ensure all women have access to mammograms, and free programs and services that improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

They say that every donation makes a difference, and it really is true. I know the economic environment is difficult for many of us, but any amount that you give will make a difference. If everyone walking in Making Strides this year were able to raise just $5, we would raise an additional $3 million to fight breast cancer. Imagine what an incredible difference we could make together!

To support me in my efforts, please visit my personal page. I'd love for you to join my team and walk with me or support my efforts with a donation of any amount.

As a little extra inspiration, I thought you might like to know a few of the ways your donation will help the American Cancer Society save lives every day:

*More people in our community will have the information and tools they need to help prevent breast cancer or find it early.

*More people with breast cancer will have a place to turn around the clock to help them through every step of their cancer journey whether it's a free ride to treatment, a place to stay, or just talking to someone who has "been there."

*More women like our own mothers, daughters, sisters, and grandmothers will have access to lifesaving mammograms and treatment they need.

Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against breast cancer. I am walking for my girlfriend and the women in her family. This disease has gone through many generations with her family and will likely continue with her. Whatever your reasons, I hope you'll choose to make a difference by signing up to walk with me or making a donation online to support my effort. I'm so grateful to have great people like you in my life who care about breast cancer! Together we will make a difference, make history, and make strides.

Sincerely,
Mr Snickelfritz
