Fighting the good fight x3!

October  15, 2011 will mark my 3rd year in my efforts to fundraise and support the Miami Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
Every year I dedicate my efforts to my mom, Ana Maria, who is also a breast cancer survivor. It was a shock to my family when we were told of the news. Approximately 80% of breast cancers occur in women 50 years and older, my mom was 47. My mom toughed out through surgeries, numerous treatments, and even hair loss. Her strentgh and courage is what made our family see it through.
The chances that you know someone who has been affect by breast cancers are high: 1 in 8 women! That means either a spouse, a friend, a co-worker, a student at school, a neighbor has either had breast cancer or has been affected by this disease.
The team I have been running with came together in memory of Betty Wood. She lost her battle with breast cancer 11 years ago. Betty is Danny Wood's mother. Danny is a member of NKOTB and dedicated Susan G. Komen supporter who has active in the fight against breast cancer for several years.
You can help find a cure. Your support helps us get another step closer to a world without breast cancer.  
Breast cancer does not care, that's why we have to!

FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!

October 16, 2010 will mark my second year in my efforts to fundraise and support the Miami Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

I am dedicating my efforts to my mom, Ana Maria, who is a breast cancer survivor. With no history of breast cancer in my family, we were in shock as she was diagnosed at a younger age than most women are. My mother, a strong-willed woman, never let us see her cry or suffer as she struggled through surgeries and numerous treatments. Her strength and courage is what made our family see it through.

The team I am running with has come together in memory of Betty Wood. Betty lost her battle with breast cancer 11 years ago. Betty is Danny Wood's mother, a member of NKOTB and a dedicated Susan G. Komen supporter who has been fighting breast cancer for several years. Let Betty's passing and that of many others, not be in vain.

Our goal is to fight against breast cancer, to remember the lives loved and lost, and to honor those survivors that continue to give us hope. They remind us as always to "Hang Tough!"

I hope you can help me reach my fundraising goal. You can donate online securely by clicking my Komen page: http://miamiftl.info-komen.org/goto/andieremembersbetty

We can find a cure together: LET'S CURE THIS!!!


Help us keep Betty's Memory Alive!
Help my team and I get a step closer to finding a cure by making a pledge today: http://race.komenmiaftl.org/goto/andieremembersbetty
The Miami Remembers Betty Team is very excited to be getting together for the Miami Affiliate of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
Cancer is a disease that has touched every one of us in some shape or form. The chances that you know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or who has passed battling this disease are high.

Our team has come together in memory of Betty Wood who lost her battle with breast cancer almost 10 years ago. We are together
not just because of a group, but to remember the lives lost and those survivors that give us hope. They remind us as always to HANG TOUGH!

Help support the promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by making a donation to my page, or, if you prefer, you may make a donation to our team as whole.

For more information on The "Betty Wood" Breast Cancer Foundation, please visit: http://www.rememberbetty.org Let her passing and that of those others not be in vain.
THANK YOU for your support of us and Susan G. Komen Race for the the Cure!
WE WILL find the cure together! That's our promise.
