….well, your donation is more like it.

On Mother’s Day, May 11th, Dave and I (with Ben in his shiny new wagon) will be participating in memory of my mother, Cris Feliciano, in Y-ME’s Race to Empower. As most of you know, my mother passed away almost 5 years ago from breast cancer (actually, it was due to a whole bunch of complications after that, but the cancer is pretty much what started it). It was a long, hard journey for not only my mother, but our whole family. Luckily, we had such a wonderful network of family and friends to support us. Not everyone has that, which is one of the reasons why Y-ME exists.

Y-ME is here today for those who can’t wait for tomorrow’s cure, and we know the need for emotional support and information doesn’t stop when the workday ends. That’s why Y-ME has the country’s only free-of-charge, 24-hour Hotline staffed by trained peer counselors who are breast cancer survivors, with interpreters in 150 languages. Your donation to the Walk fuels the Hotline and Y-ME’s other vital programs.

This year, 180,000 Americans are estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States. Through the support of financial contributions from donors like you and me, Y-ME can continue offering its services free-of charge programs and services to breast cancer patients, caregivers and loved ones.

We are committed, like Y-ME, to ensuring that no one faces breast cancer alone. You can support one of us or both of us by clicking on our links at the bottom of the email. If you’re interested in taking part, come and join our team - Team Suso Barkada (loosely translated to “The Boob Friends” - yes, it’s a horrible name, but I’m at a loss for something more clever). It’ll be a lot of fun to walk together - or if you can’t be there, you can join in virtually.

Our goal is to raise $400 together to help Y-ME continue providing its indispensable programs and services to anyone touched by breast cancer. Any amount you can spare - a dollar, five dollars, five hundred dollars (hee hee) is appreciated. Your help truly makes a difference in the lives of those touched by breast cancer, and we are grateful for your support.
