Help!

This year, I'll be participating in an incredible event called the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure®.

More than 50,000 people will all gather on the National Mall on June 6 to take a stand in the global movement to end breast cancer. Each year, up to 75 percent of the Komen Global Race's net income stays in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to fund local screening, treatment and education programs for the medically underserved. The remaining dollars support the Global Promise Fund, a program of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which is dedicated to reaching underserved people in areas where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest.
I've set my personal goal at $125. So I need your help. You can give online at www.GlobalRacefortheCure.org. Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a donation.

Old Bridge Elementary is participating in support of a former staff member. I have no connections to breast cancer but do to cancer in general. I lost my grandmother to ovarian cancer and will walk in memory of her. I am also walking to support my aunt who is is winning her fight against cancer right now.

Without a cure, an estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer - and 10 million could die over the next 25 years. That's why I'm joining the fight. I hope that you'll support me.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Sincerely,
Sarah
