Hi Readers,

I know that we just met but I am writing to you as one female to another female. Several times a year I commit my time to participate and fundraise for non-profit organizations. Earlier this year I ran in the Violence Against Women, raising funds for women in the Houston area who are trying to start over from an unhealthy relationship. My aunt has just been diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago and on her behalf I will be running in the Komen Race for the Cure next weekend.

One in eight women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime and the more we raise, the more the Komen Houston Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure can give back to the community. The Komen Houston Affiliate funds vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community and supports the national search for a cure.

• Every $100 raised will help someone without health insurance receive a much-needed mammogram
• A donation of $250 will pay for 5 clinical breast exams
• $1,000 will help pay for 1 round of the chemotherapy drug Taxotere

If you would like to donate, your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically underserved communities in Komen Houston and national breast cancer research. Please click on the link below to donate.

Thank you so much for your time and support.

Warm regards,
