Hello everyone! This next year, 2014, I have set out to embark on one of the most amazing, hard, and rewarding journeys EVER! Luckily I will embark on this journey with my sister, Alicia Murphy, and Many others!!!
We have set out to walk as many miles as those diagnosed in 2012 with Breast Cancer! And to top that cake with icing, we have also set out to raise $1 for Every mile we walk as well!!! That would be a total of $296,298 and 296, 298 miles!! Why you ask, well for starters I was diagnosed in early 2012, at the age of 28 with a rare and aggressive form of Breast Cancer! AND about the same time a few of my "Breast Sisters" were also diagnosed, and unfortunately have since lost the battle. And these wonderful women that lost the battle were also under the age of 30 when diagnosed! We are embarking on this journey to show that women (and men) can get Breast Cancer at a very young age, and it can be just as deadly! It is important that those women out there that want to get a mammogram or other diagnostic screening, that they can without being denied by insurance! And/or if they need treatment they can get it, immediately, without having to deal with the insurance companies! It is vital that we raise awareness about this and raise as much money as possible for treatment and for research! This is becoming more and more of a problem, women & men younger and younger seem to be getting diagnosed, and it is baffling, and heart breaking! Please join us in the fight against Breast Cancer, one dollar or one step at a time!
Thank you,
Jessica Olsen & Alicia Murphy
