Raising money for Breast Cancer with Disney's Epcot 5K

I am raising money for Breast Cancer by participating in Team AllEars, a running team taking part in all the marathon activities at Walt Disney World in January. 

I am in the Epcot 5k.  This one is an actual timed event; I have to complete each third within 15 minutes.  If I had that dragon chasing me like they show on the site, you bet I'd make it! Besides, I can't let someone who is pushing a baby stroller beat me! Smiley from millan.net

So I will cross that finish line!

(Man, that German judge is tough...)

I have gone back to training, riding my bike and walking, increasing my strength and time.; I also want to lose weight so I'm in better health and shape.

Here's where I need your help. Each Team AllEars member promises to raise $500 for the Breast Cancer Foundation. The Avon Breast Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (Tax ID #13-612-8447), so all donations are tax deductible.

Your support will be donating directly to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, via Deb Will’s account. (president & founder of AllEars.net and a breast cancer survivor) ALL money does go to the charity.  Anything that we spend as the Team comes from our own pockets (such as event registration, Team clothing, and travel expenses).   Last year, the team raised $50,000 and was publicly thanked by the president of the Foundation! 

There are two main ways donations can be made: online via credit card or by check.

I know donating money is tough.  So I thank you if you do make a donation and understand if you can't.
