Charlottesville Women's 4 Miler Fundraising

I just wanted to put it out there that I am running the Women's 4-miler in Charlottesville on August 31st.  I am looking for donations to this awesome center that supports women in the Central VA region.  Here's a little on what the donations go to:

How can you support the UVa Cancer Center 

Breast Care Program? 

$400 Will provide screening assessments including: a 

screening mammogram, pap smear, clinical breast exam 

and colorectal screening for one patient. 

$220 Will cover the cost of one mammogram for a woman who 

can’t afford it. 

$125 Will allow 10 women undergoing mastectomy, the 

opportunity to receive a special Belisse bra to reduce 

swelling in the breast area and chest wall. 

$50 Will provide a newly diagnosed patient with a care 

package complete with Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book, a 

blank writing journal, herbal tea and a few extra other 

“feel good” items to help the patient throughout her 

journey. 

$25 Will provide a Patient Navigation Notebook to a newly 

diagnosed patient. The notebooks contain information 

on breast cancer treatment options including surgery, 

chemotherapy and radiation. The notebooks also provide 

information on coping, resources and clinical trials 

available at UVa. 

$10 Will support education efforts to teenage girls about the 

importance of breast health, including breast self exams. 

$5 Will provide a woman with an assessment tool to 

determine if she is at risk for developing breast cancer.
