Breast Cancer Awareness Coin

[+Spinneyman]

October is a special month for many of us as it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For myself, I lost my mother to this disease in 2004 and began participating in 3-Day 60-mile walks in 2008 to raise funds for breast cancer research, education and local community support. In 2011, when I walked in 14 60-mile events, my daughter and I designed our first Breast Cancer Awareness geocoin and it was such a success that we have created a new one each year as part of my fundraising.

 

The 2014 coin is special as it is dedicated to mom whose 10th anniversary of her death is this year. The coins are trackable, 1.75" coins that come in both a gold and silver finish. For full details on the coins and their cost you can go to http://www.walkingforacure.info/9.html for the history of our coins, photos of this years coin and how to order one. Eighty percent of your cost is donated directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, with the remaining 20% paying for manufacture and postage.

 

Please consider this opportunity during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer through the purchase of one of these coins. In addition, I still have a few left from 2011 to 2013, if you are interested. Thank you for your consideration.
