Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Just for a minute I’d like you to think about eight women who are closest to you…your mother…wife…sisters…aunts…best friends…yourself. Did you know that statistically speaking, one of them will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This year more than 180,000 women and men in the United States alone will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Over 40,000 will die. That’s why I’ve decided to do something … and I hope you will be a partner with me
in this effort.

This spring I’ll be participating in a very special and powerful event in the fight against breast cancer -- it’s called the AVON BREAST CANCER 3-DAY. From May 17th through May 19th I’m committed to walk 60 miles – 20 miles each day – from Fitchburg, MA to Boston, MA with 3,000 others who have all agreed to walk and each raise $1,900 in donations to research and treatment programs. Would you please consider making a donation to help me meet my goal?

There are a few ways to make your pledge, which is completely tax deductible. You can mail your check (made out to Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day) along with the enclosed pledge form, make payments by credit card as indicated on the pledge form, or you can go on line to www.bethepeople.com and use your debit or credit card. You’ll need to know that I’m walker #3834 in Boston. Also, please feel free to pass on this information to anyone else who might be interested in supporting this worthy cause. The donation form lists some suggestions for pledges, but any pledge of any amount, will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.


Most sincerely,



Vera Wojtowicz
