As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. One of the passions behind Designhergals.com is to raise money for Stage IV breast cancer patients through their Gal to Gal Foundation. This month they are hosting a special virtual walk event. You don't need to fly to a certain city to participate. All you need to do is fire up that internet connection of yours. Chances are, if you are reading this, you've accomplished that step.
Their goal is to register 1 million walkers throughout the month of October. The donation is minimal, $3.00. Of course, they will take more! I think you can live without Starbucks for one day. Make coffee from home and donate to a wonderful cause. So many women (and men) who are living with and going through the most critical phase of this incredulous disease will benefit from your generosity.
Virtually, they will be walking from Boston to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Hint: no training needed, it's virtual. Today they are in Baltimore, MD.
Log on to galtogal.org and create your virtual walker today. You can design a girl to look like you, a loved one, or someone who inspires you! Very cool. My girl is sporting a blue sweat suit, Emily K from St. Paul.
If you are not familiar with Design-her Gals, it is a very creative and fun website. You get to create your gal(s) from a million different choices from clothing to the optional man or dog standing beside you to what you want to hold in your hands. Above is the Gal I created a few months ago. You can click here to see my previous post regarding this amazing web site.
