There is still time to register, volunteer or donate for the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer which will take place in several cities across the United States -- Los Angeles, New York, Charlotte, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco. This weekend walk that extends over two days and 39 miles will take place as soon as September 2006 in Los Angeles and as late as July 2007 in Denver. This walk, designed to benefit medically underserved women and men -- allowing them treatment they otherwise would not receive -- also funds research teams as they continue their quest for a cure. With Prevention magazine as the national sponsor and other official sponsors such as Reebok, the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer has made quite a mark already. This year's Chicago walk raised a record-breaking $8.2 million and tracked the steps of more than 3,500 participants. There is no better proof than this -- in my opinion -- that walking can make quite a difference.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care.

1. I'm sorry to reply to this post as my question does not apply to this particular post. I am not even sure if I am emailing to Jacki or the site.I have been reading your (Jacki Donaldson's) blog with great interest and inspiration. You are so courageous. I was wondering what grade your tumor was? I too was stage 1 and debated having Taxol tx. It was so reassuring to read that your oncologist did not push you to do it. Your whole story and pictures are just so moving. I would appreciate if you could email your tumor grade and also let me know how you are doing.
Sincerely,
Sheryl
