Avon 39

[madbrian]

Good morning all,

I usually don't post things like this, but here goes.  I've just committed to the Avon 39, a 39.3 mile walk over 2 days in NYC in October.  In order to participate, I need to raise $1,800 in donations before the event.  Please consider making a donation via my personal page at the link below.  Thanks!

Bumping this thread, with a reminder of what it's about.  Avon 39 is a fundraiser for the fight against breast cancer.  It's a 39 mile walk over 2 days in NYC in October.  I've committed to the event, but in order to participate I need to meet a fundraising goal. If you would like to donate, please use the link below to ensure I receive credit.  Thanks!

Is Avon one of the more corrupt organizations? Or am I thinking of someone else? Sorry for mentioning this if I am completely wrong.

Wow, what a despicable thing to do.  To write an unfounded comment like that, when I am reaching out for donations to fight breast cancer is beyond the pale.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

Brian,

I made a small donation.

Focus on the positive.  A worthy cause, and it sounds like a lot of fun!

Thanks, and there is no such thing as a small donation!

2017 has been a year of many firsts for me.  So far, I have:

• Lost 125 pounds (2016/2017)
• Hiked to the summit of Haystack Mountain in Vermont
• Completed a 5 mile run in 44:40
• Completed a 5k run in 27:17
• Gone zip lining (see profile pic)

I'd like to add the Avon 39 to this list.  It's a fundraiser for the fight against breast cancer, a 39 mile walk over 2 days in NYC in October. I have registered for the walk, however in order to participate, I need to reach a very aggressive donation requirement of $1,800.  If you'd like to help me reach this goal, as well as contribute to this worthy cause, please make a donation via the link below.

Many thanks, especially to those who have already contributed!

Congrats on all your accomplishments!

 

How far/close are you to your goal?  I've already donated, but I'm just curious.   Rooting for you!

Thanks for the donation, and for the kind words!  I'm about halfway to my goal, with almost 2 months until the event.  So, no reason to panic quite yet, but the folks at Avon encourage us to be persistent.

Hi folks, just bumping this.  I was reluctant to post this here, so I've been touched that folks have donated.  If anyone else would like to contribute to the fight against breast cancer, please use the link below.  Thanks.
