Many of you already know that I am turning 50 on September 18th. so I sent out this email to my entire contact list.
Dear Friend,
I am not trying to be pushy, but I really would love you to be a part of a very significant day in my life. On September 18, 2011 I turn 50; and on September 19th I will get my final chemo therapy treatment that will hopefully irradicate any left over signs/cells/remnants of breast cancer that may have still been left in my body after surgery.
The walk is important because it brings together other Survivors, Family members, and/or friends that have been affected by this disease. And as one community, we walk/run together to put an end to it!!!
I know that I have emailed already, but if you are walking with me I need to know as soon as Monday August 29th…for I am having T-shirts made for our team, and that is the deadline. To do that you MUST sign up online through http://www.komennyc.com, and search for the race page for team THE CANCER MADE ME DO IT. Their is a sign up charge and then you start getting donations by emailing it to all of your friends. If you have any questions please feel free to email me and I can walk you through it.
If you can’t make it to the walk, I hope you will support one of your friends that is walking, or support me by going to my race page and donating. I am shamelessly asking you to donate — make it a Birthday gift to me if you must….
Please log on and join or donate as soon as you can. And if you become a team member — start fundraising as soon as you can.
Thank you for all of your help.
I hope to see you on race day!.

The response has been unbelievably heart warming. Even those who can’t make the race have found ways to be a part of my team. My friend Kathy (who owns Katherine Winters Salon) is cutting for the cure. On September 9th she is donating her profits to my team. So if anyone wants a haircut – aside from the fact that she is AWESOME at what she does – she is a woman with a gold heart.
You have heard the expression “it takes a village” I live in a great one. Wow what a great feeling — This is going to be the best birthday ever….And you all helped make it great. I am forever grateful and I thank you all. You are the ones who are awesome and who have inspired me…
With great love and respect for you all!

Carol – you are truly an incredible woman. In your honor, and as a fellow breast cancer survivor, I would love to walk with you and raise money. Xoxo jodi
Wishing you avery Happy Birthday, Carol, with many many more Happy and Healthy ones to Follow. While I cannot join in the walk(I live in Florida) I do participate in all the walks here raising awareness of INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER(IBC)(one that most people ever heard of…you may have heard about it from your Mom.) To find out more about IBC, please go to http://www.eraseibc.com and share the information with all the women in your life and perhaps together we can save some more lives. Anyone who would like to have brochures about IBC to share can request them free of charge on our website.. Good Luck, Carol..you are doing great things…you do yourself proud…I am now going to your personal page
