Hello all,
A few weeks ago I decided to participate in the Breast Cancer walk being held here in Houston. I am super excited about participating! I am attaching the "solicitation" email I sent out for donations. I have to raise at least $1,800 to be able to participate. Please, if you can, click on the link that will take you to my page to make a donation...but even more important than that, I need your prayers. This will be a major physical accomplishment for me. I will be walking the marathon...which is 26 miles over two days. Phew...
If you would like to read more information about the event you can go to www.avonwalk.org
You can click (or paste the link) in the email below to get to my personal web page. (My name is Dametria Douglas so you can make sure your contribution will get credited to me)
This is such a worthy cause, and with your help I can be really successful....with my fundraising as well as completing the marathon.
Thank you so much....please feel free to pass the word!!!
If you are in Houston and you want to sign up to make a team, PM me. Keeping in mind that the event is over an entire weekend....so you will be missing church on Sunday April 13th.

Dear Friends, Family, and neighbors,
As you may know, I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? I didn't, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has become in this country.
I am eager to get started with my fundraising and I need your support! I have pledged to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as part of my participation in the walk. I can not walk with out meeting the minimum fundraising requirement of $1,800. Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. There is a special focus on helping medically under served women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance. And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Please forward this email to all of your friends, family, and organizations so that together we can reach my fundraising goal...and get closer to a cure.
