Please support me as I commit to an incredible challenge. The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. It will be hard, but it's not as hard as breast cancer. It's not as hard as chemo. It's  not as hard as getting bad news at your latest scan. It's not as hard as saying goodbye.
My mother, Lorie Browning, died 3 years ago from cancer.  Her painful journey started with breast cancer.  That is why I feel I have to do this, and why I'm asking you for a donation, to help end this.
I am also a big fan of breasts, and I hate to see anything bad happen to them.Thank you in advance,Luke
