i got my 60 miles/3 day breast cancer walk information. i really want to walk, but i dont know if i will be able to raise 2,300 dollars so i was wondering how many people would be interested in donating? breast cancer runs in my family so it's very important to me. please let me know.

    I can't donate...don't have enough money. But good for you for doing that!!! I think that is awesome! I hope you get the $2300 you need!

    My son did this last year. He had yard sales (collected stuff from relatives and friends to sell); had contests at work where people chipped in $$ to participate, hit up all the relatives and, of course, asked mom and dad for contributions. He made his goal of both raising the money and building up to the 60 miles per day walk required. He did this for me - I have breast cancer and I certainly appreciate your throughtfulness. Good luck!

    You may be suprised at how easy it really is to get those donations. I have walked twice in the past and am doing it again. I raised more than the 2300 each time and last year I did it with my 16 yr old daughter. Do it!!! It is a life changing experience.

    I have managed to accomplish this twice and I also did a 1 day walk as well. It is an awesome experience and accomplishment on may levels. I think if you want to then you can do it! For fundraising I did a garage sale, bottle drive, bbq, asked friends and family, we made a cookbook,sold lunches at work, I sold chocolate dipped strawberries, a friend hosted a party and charged a cover charge...by far the most profitable was the bake sale, strawberry sale....I hope that this gives you some ideas. :)
