I Care!

You don't have to be rich, a superhero, a celebrity or a woman.
All you have to do is be you.
That's what I do - I care.
I care about those women that are devastated to learn they have a diagnosis.
I care about those families that are torn between a prescription and a meal.
I care about those young women that wonder if they'll be able to have a family.
I care about those women that wonder if there is a man that will want them.
I care about those children that worry and fret over their parents conditions.
I care about those that pray over the loved one who is in treatment.
I care about those that are concerned about their self image and how it will be perceived in public.
I care enough to help in any way that I can.
If that means I need to walk in multiple events to raise awareness, funds, to show that there is a need so be it.
If that means that I need to get up when I really don't want to to train so my body is prepared, so be it.
If that means that I need to make a few donations myself to support another walker or myself, so be it.
If that means that I host an event wherein 2 people show up but get some much needed information, then so be it.
If that means that I have to ask and ask and ask some more, then so be it.
I care enough not to quit, ignore, forget or give up!!
I care enough about you, your sister, mother, daughter, niece, aunt, grandmother, unborn child, friends and families not to quit, ignore, forget or give up!!!
I care enough about you and myself to remind you to check the girls, schedule and keep your mammogram appointment.
I care enough about this fight to get my ASS up and Do something.
I care enough to walk until I'm too exhausted to take another step, and do it anyway.
I care enough to continue until there is A Cure!
I care enough because,
I am My sister's Keeper!

    these are some of the reasons we ask for your generous donations. Without them breakthroughs like this would not be possible.
    Please find some funds somewhere in the couch, chair cushions to help make it possible for everyone - www.the3day.org/goto/nichelle
