Do you ever feel that you want to do your part and give back by supporting an important cause and joining one of the many fund raising walks, but for some reason you can never find the time to do the walk. If that's you then the Gal to Gal Foundation's Virtual Walk is perfect for you and anyone else who wants to give and support Stage IV breast cancer patients and their families.
The team over at Design-her Gals and the Gal to Gal Foundation have launched a virtual walk to raise funds for Stage IV breast cancer patients and their families. The goal is to raise $3 million by having one million people sign up and donate three dollars each. It's such a creative idea and a very simple and impactful way for all of us to help.
According to Jeanne Fitzmaurice in an interview by Tory Johnson on ABC's Good Morning America, she explained that the funds will be used to help the Making Memories organization, which helps Stage IV breast cancer patients and their families, and some funds will also be used to create a social networking site designed for Stage IV breast cancer patients and their families to connect, communicate and have access to resources that are most important during this critical stage.
Fitzmaurice is the founder of "Design-her Gals" and Gal to Gal Foundation. Fitzmaurice founded the Gal to Gal Foundation after losing her cousin and a good friend's best friend to breast cancer. Her cousin, who left behind a six year old daughter, was only 45 years old. The experience made her realize that there was so much more that needed to be done to help those with Stage IV breast cancer and their families.
The virtual walk started on October 1st in Boston, MA and continues on for the 31 days in October and stops in various cities across the U.S. with the walk ending in San Francisco on October 31st. Please take a few minutes and join us in helping those with Stage IV breast cancer and their families. See you on the walk!
