Your donation could help save my life!
In 2008, it is estimated that 182,460 women and 1990 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer; during the same time, 40,480 women and 450 men will lose their lives to this terrible disease. Breast Cancer is the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 59. There is no known cure for advanced breast cancer.
“I am a 39 year old survivor, living with advanced breast cancer. If or when my cancer rears its ugly head, I want my doctor to have a new drug to give me to put me back in remission. I need more time!! Please help me raise the money to make sure that happens! When you give to Komen, you don't just give money, you give hope...you give ME hope!!”

Please make a donation to the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure through my fundraising page http://www.active.com/donate/KC2008/LCoving40

There are over 60 clubs throughout the U.S. and Canada. We organize social activities on the local and international level. You must be 21 years of age. Women have to be 5’10” and men 6’2” and above.

Tall Clubs International (www.tall.org) works hard to positively influence tall lives around the globe whether it's fighting for legroom in the airline industry, providing information on goods and services designed for tall people or offering college scholarships for tall teens.
