Weekend To End Breast Cancer Walk

On one of the blogs I visit regularly, this walk was a topic of discussion. One of my friends, Erin, whom I only know through the internet is walking in this walk. She is raising money for it. It is a very special walk with the purpose to raise money for breast cancer research. Each year every single one of these women do this in hopes that that weekend will be the weekend to end breast cancer by walking an raising money.

It holds a special meaning for me too and even though I am not participating in the walk, I have donated money towards this cause. Both of my grandmothers have had breast cancer. They both had it removed, though one had to have one of her breasts removed as well as the cancer cell. They both survived because they caught it early. There are others who are not so lucky and don't find out that they have breast cancer until it's too late.

I salute those who take part in this walk or who donate to this walk and those who donate to breast cancer research or cancer research in general and those who are there to just support those with cancer. You are a very special kind of person if you do and I pray that God may bestow his blessings on each and every one of you.

Good luck Erin and congrats on reaching your goal of $3,000 for this walk!

If you too would like to donate to this walk or participate in it now or in the feature please visit this link. I urge you to do this and be a hero. Every amount, big AND small, matters.

It's a cause dear to my heart, too, as I lost my mum to breast cancer - and I'm pleased to say that last year M&B had one of my books in their breast cancer research fundraising programme.

You won a prize on my blog party - I'm having problems with my forwarder, which just isn't working at the moment, so please can you contact me at

(obviously with kate and hardy and . rather than the "full out" stuff ahead - this is an attempt to avoid spam because I learned the hard way what happens if you post your email addy... *g*)

all best
