A Blue Bug Running a Half Marathon

A few months back my sister Candice informed me that her roommate and our friend Hilary Smith, lost her sister in-law Avery to cancer, leaving behind three young children. This situation touched very close to home. As some of you might not know, Caroline, Candice, Claudine and I lost our mother to cancer when we were very young.

In New York, on May 6th, Hilary, accompanied by her family, friends, and my sisters, participated in the 9 th Annual Revlon Run / Walk for Women to raise money for breast cancer research, prevention, education, and support service programs. They walked together wearing shirts labeled "Team Avery" raising thousands of dollars.

I would have participated in this event if I was in the area, but being a bit far for me to travel, I have decided to independently raise money for "Team Avery". I am going to run a half marathon on June 25 in Wellington and I am asking you to please sponsor this run by donating money to breast cancer research under the "Team Avery" name.

It is a 21 kilometer race and I suggest that people donate at least one dollar a kilometer, which would only be $21. You can't even get two movie tickets for that! If you would like to donate more, please feel free! I'm offering you the opportunity to help support a cause that is very important to me, to my family, to the Smith family, and to countless others that have been or are currently being affected by cancer.

I am requesting that you place your sponsorships under any one of my sisters’ names.

Thank you for your generosity.
