Response to Save the Date!

Katie Lambe said...

Thank you to all of you for participating in this wonderful event! And a special thank you to my good friend, Coach Roehrenbeck, for organizing.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in America, affecting 1 in 8 women. An estimated 178,480 new cases of breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the U.S. during 2007, and an estimated 40,460 women will die from breast cancer. My mom was one of them.

Fortunately, fundraising events like these will help fund research to one day eliminate this terrible disease forever. The money you raise will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists.

I look forward to cheering you on this season and to seeing you on September 18th.

Go Vikings!

Katie
