Dear Friends and Family,

Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is
diagnosed with breast cancer? Every three minutes. Because I cannot ignore
this shocking statistic, I've made a commitment to work toward changing it,
and I need your help.

On June 26-27, 2010, I'll spend the weekend walking, along with thousands of
other people, in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I will walk at least the
distance of a marathon (26.2 miles), and I may choose to walk as far as a
marathon and a half. I will also raise at least $1,800 in donations to the
cause. I'll have to spend the next few months training, fundraising, and
preparing for the event. It's the biggest challenge I've ever taken on, but
I'm very excited about doing it because I know it will make a real
difference to the millions of people affected by breast cancer.

The money raised is managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation, a
501(c)(3) public charity with a mission to fund access to care and finding a
cure for breast cancer. The Avon Foundation funds both local and national
organizations in five key areas: medical research; education and early
detection programs; clinical care; and support services, all with a focus on
the medically underserved.

Please help to support my efforts and this critically important cause by
making a generous contribution. You can make your donation online by simply
clicking on the link at the bottom of this message, which will bring you
right to my personal page. Please remember as you're making your donation
that in less than the time it took to read this e-mail, another woman in the
U.S. was diagnosed with breast cancer.

You can also help me by passing this message along to others who may be
interested in being a part of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Jaime Bruce
