In It To End It (Breast Cancer)

Both my husband and I were born in the town of Montague and graduated from Turners Falls High School 35 years ago. Unfortunately, during the past 2 years both he and I were stricken with breast cancer, exactly a year apart. Luckily we live near enough to Boston to receive excellent medical treatment and both our outlooks remain positive. Having recently finished treatments, we are both walking in the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer in Boston on May 15 and 16. We have committed to raise $1,800 each for this worthwhile event. This money will be distributed in the Boston area. Funds raised support 5 key areas:
Medical research - access to treatment - screening and diagnosis - support services - education and awareness.
Won't you please consider making a small donation towards this cause? Perhaps you know someone touched by the disease. You can make the donation in their honor (or memory). Please visit my Avon website: http://www.avonwalk.org/goto/MAstell
Thank you for your support!
