All - Not all of you know this, but Breast Cancer research is near and dear to my heart... We have had Breast Cancer in my family and I am a Breast Cancer Gene carrier along with many other members of my family.

I'm now on the Board for The DONNA Foundation, which is a local organization here in Jacksonville with is fighting the good fight to support women with breast cancer in their time of need while also funding research.

As a Board member, we have been tasked with raising money in a very short term so we can meet the "match" amount provided by a grant. This would provide the Foundation with an additional $100,000 in revenue.

Anything you can do to support this foundation would be greatly appreciated.

Nearly 73% of breast cancer patients contemplate modifying or skipping their medication or treatment to save money. 41 % actually act on it.
Close to 47% of families living with breast cancer are using their retirement account to pay for out-of-pocket expenses, 26% pay with their credit card.

Well over 80% of breast cancer patient report medical expenses totaling up to $10,000, and that is with insurance.

Ask anyone who’s participated in DONNA Marathon Weekend, or any DONNA signature event, and they’ll tell you this is a weekend of unconditional love and support. It’s not just about being together, but pushing each other to run a little faster, walk a little further and give a little more, because together we can, and we will.

This Season, We Are Asking For Your Help To Raise $500,000 For The Donna Foundation. The needs of The DONNA Foundation have expanded, and we know that with the help of the DONNA nation, we can achieve this monumental goal. Together we can. #TogetherWeWILL
