Rene's Pledge the Pink 2021

Hi Friends and Family,

I am still walking…still doing my part to put an end to breast cancer. I can hardly believe this will be my 13th multi-day walking event to fight breast cancer. This year, I am even more determined to do this walk because one of my closest friends was just diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). I am convinced that she WILL survive it but I still HATE Cancer…and watching what it does to the lives of those I know and love.

Due to Covid, the 2020 event was a virtual walk with participant’s creating their own course and walking at their chosen location. I walked my 3 ten mile days here in Mooresville and enjoyed the company of my friend and teammate, Donna, every step of the way.

For 2021, I am hopeful we will be able to meet at Hilton Head Island and walk face to face but either way, I WILL do the walking. I did very little fundraising for the 2020 walk , because of personal life events (my father’s illness and death) and because I knew many people were struggling financially as a result of Covid. I plan to make up for it with this walk because breast cancer did NOT stop or take a time out due to Covid and because my friends diagnosis was a rude reminder that research is critical.

I’m asking my friends and family to support me in this fight. It will be a challenge to hit my fundraising goal, but I’m still going to ask…stretch and hopefully see it happen. I pray for the day that breast cancer is NO MORE!
