Supporting the Search for the Cure, One Mile at a Time
This year, I’ll be participating in a very special event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day.
I’ll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
I’ve agreed to raise at least $2300.00 in donations, I know I can raise even more than that. You can join me in my fight against breast cancer without even breaking a sweat!!! Would you please consider a $25.00 $50.00 or $100.00 pledge to support my effort. Keep in mind how far I’m walking and how hard I’ll have to train. You can donate online at http://www.the3day.org/. Just click on Donate Now and search for my name VERONICA BURICK and it will take you to my personal fundraiser page. You can also call 800.996.3DAY to donate over the phone. Keep in mind that your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extend allowed by law.
As most of you know, my mother did not win the breast cancer battle. My mom was a strong, resilient, dignify, courageous lady. On my mom’s 57th birthday she was diagnose with breast cancer. A very rare and rapid growing type of cancer. She had to have her right breast removed right away and undergo chemotherapy. Unfortunately the cancer returned, and this time in her chest wall, bones, lunges and brain. She fought it with chemotherapy and radiation, but all this was too much for her. On September 7 of 2005 my mom passed away at the age of 61. My sister, brother and I saw her slowly slipping away, but we still held out hope. We take for granted that mom will be with us always. Unfortunately atha is not true. We all still miss her dearly. This 3 day walk is in my mom’s honor.
According to Susan G Komen for the Cure, more than 2000,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. That’s why I’m walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you’ll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting me in my fund-raising efforts.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!!
sincerely,
Veronica Burick

I wish I could make a donation for you. I wish I could have donated more when I walked this year, but I just don’t have the money. Good luck and God bless!
