Link With Pink – “Here We Go” Fight Breast Cancer (Avon Walk For Breast Cancer Fundraiser Video)


“LINK WITH PINK” teammates Jane Herron, Mary Ellen Kuikman, and Kelly Bryant are linking the schools and communities in Chicago’s western suburbs in a grand effort to raise funds for Chicago’s Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The event will take place in Chicago on June 6 and 7, 2009. LINK WITH PINK is determined to walk the equivalent of a marathon and a half over those two days!

Team members are training at MBC Fitness in Westmont, under the watchful eyes of their trainers, Dave Mellish and Sheila Lapinski. Weight training, short-distance, and long-distance walks, and good nutrition will be our focus for the next few months. You can help! Accompany us on our training walks, cheer us on along the route, join the team, or donate generously to our team members.

With our sweat and your dollars, LINK WITH PINK will raise valuable funds for the fight against breast cancer. Please visit our team website at www.avonwalk.org, then click on “Chicago June 6-7, 2009″, then click on “Teams”, then click on “Chicago Teams”, then scroll down to “Link with Pink”.

You can also go to www.avonwalk.org. At the very top of the page, click on “make a donation”. Then where it says “search for a team”, type in Link with Pink.

(Thanks to Ok Go in advance for their great song, “Here We Go Again” which we chose to use promote in this video.)
