Gail's Kicking Cancer's A** Team

We're "Making Strides" for Gail - and for all other women fighting the good fight.
As soon as she was diagnosed, Gail knew this was bigger than her. She knew that her calling had become two-fold: being a mom and working to help other women beat breast cancer. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer resonated with her immediately because of the power in numbers and the power in research dollars.
Gail got a tremendous bump in positive energy from our large and wonderful team of walkers every year. She also felt the power of the 35,000 other walkers. That was such positive fuel for her personal battle with cancer. She lived better and longer because of it. And so we ask you to join our team and come walk with us for all those other women who need that energy during this crisis in their lives. It is such a beautiful event!
We'll meet at 8:30 AM at the southeast corner of Charles Street and Beacon Street (which is at the edge of Boston Common Park) - this is just north of Boston Common Parking Garage (which has reasonable rates) and across the street from the Starbucks. We'll be the crew of aqua-blue T-shirts (bring your shirt from prior years if you have it).
The year after our first Walk Gail spoke at an event and described the Walk in this way: "For me, a survivor, seeing all those people walking was amazing and humbling. I cried a few times that day, when I'd see a memorial t-shirt or sign with the name and picture of a beautiful mother/daughter/wife/sister/friend who lost her battle. Every smile at me or person cheering as I walked with my pink survivor sash on gave me strength and energy. Today I know there's a woman sitting in her doctor's office getting the news that will change her life forever and I want to help her, I need to help her and I need you to help both of us. Please walk, please help raise money so that we can find a cure. Women in this fight need your help, they need resources, they need the American Cancer Society and I think they deserve it."
If you can't make the trip to Boston on SATURDAY October 5 (yes SATURDAY, not Sunday this year) and this cause resonates with you, consider donating directly to Sophie or Tom (rather than donating to the general team - this helps us become "Pacesetters" which is one of our goals).
This is our 15th year participating in Making Strides (and 10th without Gail). To expand our impact, please forward this page on to a few people. Or better yet, come join our team and encourage a few friends to donate directly to you!
Hope to see you soon!
love, tom and sophie
