My friend Kiley McMichael is doing it again. She's walking and walking and walking--60 miles in three days to be exact--to raise money to cure breast cancer. On October 9, 10, and 11th, she and the Hokies for Hooters team will be in our nation's capitol for the DC Breast Cancer 3-Day, benefiting the Susan G. Komen for the Cure non-profit organization.
Kiley began walking for the cure in 2006 and she has not stopped because breast cancer is still out there. The American Cancer Society reports that over 40,000 women will die of breast cancer this year. Kiley, like me, like most of us, have had to say goodbye to way too many wonderful women--grandmothers, moms, sisters, loved ones and friends--due to breast cancer even as recently as last week.
As of today, October 2, 2009, the Hokies for Hooters team has raised 84% of the $20,000 they set as their team goal. You can help them reach that goal by making an outright donation or through the purchase of their team-branded items available through CafePress. All proceeds go to the fundraising efforts of the Hokies for Hooters team.
So, come on, Hokie Nation! Help fund the cure for breast cancer by showing your support for Kiley and her team of Hokies: DONATE NOW or BUY A SHIRT. It's that simple. Either way, you're helping your team. And, even if you're not a Hokie by choice or degree, your support to find a cure is genuinely appreciated.
