I received this from a family friend. - Malia
Dear Family and friends, As many of you know I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 ½ years ago. After a whirlwind of meetings with doctors, tests and body scans; I was given a treatment plan. The plan began with four months of chemotherapy, followed by a radical mastectomy, 33 radiation treatments and an additional year of Herceptin infusions since my cancer was aggressive. Those treatments took my hair, my breast and my ability to function as me. Ironically, it’s the same cancer that left me with renewed strength, courage and hope. Now, I’m back in control! This September I will be participating in a very special and powerful event in the fight against breast cancer. The Breast Cancer 3day. Together with my team the 3day Divas, I will walk 60 miles over a 3 day period. I have pledged to raise $3,000 for the beneficiaries of the event, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust. The proceeds raised will support research, education, screening and treatment. Please consider sharing this incredible adventure with me by supporting my fund raising efforts. More than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and almost 40,000 will die from the disease. Together we can help eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease and help restore the mind, body and spirit of other cancer survivors. You can donate on line at: http://08.the3day.org/goto/janet.emke1.
