2008 SUSAN KOMEN 3 DAY WALK: Everyone Deserves a Lifetime!
Welcome to my Susan Komen 3 Day Walk lens! I hope you will find this handcrafted lens a unique and useful resource for your 2008 Susan Komen 3 Day Walk|fundraising experience. I have two goals with this Squidoo lens:
First, Provide YOU with unique, useful and updated information on the amazing Susan Komen breast cancer organization, the 3 day Walk events, information on what other walkers are doing and unique ways to energize your fundraising, motivate your team & inspire yourself! 
Second, I'd like to introduce myself and Buttons of Hope for your consideration. I started Buttons of Hope to give people like you a way to personalize your cause. Rather than just scribbling a name on the back of your t-shirt -- now you can easily create your own custom photo button to honor a loved one or support a friend. Imagine if everyone at the 3 Day wore a button with the smiling face of a loved one, WOW! [more on Buttons of Hope and me below]
So grab a cup of coffee & take a look around -- I hope you will find this a useful and fun resource and please consider wearing a photo button in honor of your loved one ~ together we can put a face on breast cancer!
PLEASE SEE MY POLL BELOW 80% OF THE PEOPLE WHO ANSWERED SAID THIS WILL BE THEIR FIRST 3 DAY WALK --I SAY THAT DESERVES A BIG OLE' HIGH FIVE!

Battling breast cancer is hard work. Hard work to overcome it, for the people affected. Hard work to treat it, for doctors and other healthcare professionals. And hard work to find the causes and cures, for breast cancer researchers. That's why we walk so far on the Breast Cancer 3-Day. To honor the fact that, while a world without breast cancer is possible, getting there requires hard work.Though the fundraising minimum is $2200, the average amount raised per walker is actually $3000! It's just what happens when you bring passion and commitment to such an important endeavor. DO SOMETHING BOLD

Hi, I have recently made a lens for supporting the fight against breast cancer - "Buy a pink bag and help a Breast Cancer Foundation" and I saw your lens in the related section of my page. Posted March 26, 2008 |
O.k. Me and my best friend are and WANT to talk the 3 Day walk for Breast Cancer, but I don't know how old you have to be to sign up and I can't find anywhere how old you have to be. Me and my best friend are 13 years old.
