Whoops sorry about that! I'm so scattered brain today!
n September 24, 2005 - both of my mom(Pat), my sister(Trisha) and myself will be walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure. The Komen foundation was one of my mom's favorite sites on the internet to visit last year during her treatment of Breast Cancer, and still is. What a great resource for information and support. The Komen Race for the Cure is one of the largest series of 5k runs/fitness walks in the world. Nearly 1.4 million people are expected to participate in more than 100 races in 2005! We are looking for your support to help raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. If you are willing to support our cause, you can either give us a call or mail us your donation. Please make your check payable to:
Komen Race for the Cure
and mail it to:

We thank you for your support and know this walk is the least we can do for all of those who have fought or are fighting breast cancer (and praying we don't get it back!) and also for our daughters whose chances increase because they might carry that gene! Thank you!

Kate, Pat and Trisha

Kate,

Does the money go to maintaining the web site you mentioned, and to research? (and to ... ?) You praised the web site, but didn't give its address.

Sorry about that. I actually just copy and pasted the mail out.
The website is www.komen.org. As I said in the post there will be more than 100 races this year through out the United States. All the donations from each race goes to the Susan G Komen Foundation for research and awareness. I would like to inform everyone that I will never post on here anything that only a part of the proceeds go towards the cause. Here is the part of the website that explains where the donation money goes. This location is in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Any more questions please let me know. http://www.komen.org/intradoc-cgi/idc_cgi_isapi.dll?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=347

I just finished a website the other day that you can use to make your contributions.

On this website you pay by credit card and the money goes straight to the Komen foundation, either on a weekly basis or once a month. It all depends on how the foundations set it up. This way everything goes straight to the cause and most people are more comfortable with that type of situation.
