Breast Cancer Three Day Walk... again.

HI!

Yes, I'm doing it again - I signed up for the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure™! I had such an incredible experience doing the Komen 3-Day for the Cure with Team Super Awesome in 2008 that I'm going back for more. I'm so excited about this event, even though this year I really know what I've gotten myself into.

This event isn't easy, but I promise you, I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't believe 100% that it was worth every muscle ache, weary night and training walk!

I need your help. I have been planning on doubling the $2300 that you - my friends and family - gave so generously last time around to help end breast cancer. However, due to my poor planning and busy summer schedule I am still working to raise the $2300 minimum. I am currently 23% of the way towards this new goal.

Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day for the Cure are invested in community-based breast health programs and breast cancer research. The research funded focuses on decreasing breast cancer incidence and mortality in the next decade. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® works hard to build a future without breast cancer. I’m sure we can all take a few minutes to name friends and family that have been impacted by this devastating disease. Please help me reach my goal because, as they say, “Everyone deserves a lifetime.”

Donations may be made at http://www.the3day.org/goto/hannah. All donations are tax deductible and company gift matching is highly encouraged.

If you have any questions or want to hear more about what I'm doing, I love talking about the event. Thanks for all of your support (hugs, high fives, funds and every other way!). I'm incredibly lucky to have people like you in my life!

Love,
Hannah

P.S. Don't wait - donate today!

Thoughts from a recent email...

I'm still volunteering with Youth Dynamics. I have three more weeks before I have to head back to Seattle and "the real world". I've had such an amazing summer of growth. I don't even know where to begin! God has been doing awesome things through the people here. I thought I was coming here to serve the summer staff here as they minister to middle and high school aged kids. Oh man, it's been so much more than that! I've gotten to learn from the summer staff (and hopefully they've learned a thing or two from me too), from the full time staff here, from the books I've been able to read, and the conversations I've heard others having. I'm super jazzed right now and my evolving relationship with and trust in Jesus. I'm a bit nervous about going back to Seattle and forgetting all that I've learned. But I'm also excited to take my current energy back to All Saints' (I've been thinking we need a college ministry/life group) and my friends and hope to keep fueling my fire.
