Please Read- The DIS is supporting Deb's Avon walk for Breast Cancer

[WebmasterAlex]

23 Years ago one of the best known and loved ladies in the Disney fan community was stricken with breast cancer. Since then she has tirelessly supported the cause of breast cancer research and treatment by participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. She is one of the top walkers and raised over $40,000 dollars last year!

We have decided to support Deb and her walk this year. I know the DIS family is a great community and I’m asking all of you to help in whatever way you can. Times are tough but no donation is too small.

Will has come up with some special clip art so we can all show our support for Deb. You can see it in my signature (yes I actually have clip art in my signature!!) . When making your donation there is a spot to personalize it. If you would like to include DIS so she can know how much we are behind her that would be great but the important thing is to help her in any way you can.

Thank you for any help you can give! Pete, the Webmasters and Moderators are 100 percent behind this great cause and we truly appreciate it!

Deb has posted on the Welcome Board a response. Here is her post and a link to the thread.

It is a great cause and hope to see lots of Dis'ers out there!

Thanks to Pete, Alex and the entire DIS community. I am honored to have you support me in this very important cause.

It seems like every week, I get a new email from someone who has just been diagnosed. They are scared and worried. People who are fighting the battle don't have a choice to put it off til next week. They have to deal today!

I am so glad the fight against Breast Cancer is being shared with the thousands of DIS members. This disease effects women AND men. I do personally know men who are survivors. Awareness is a very important thing!!!!!

Already 10 DIS'rs have contributed to the cause.

I thank everyone so very much.

Deb

Greeetings DISers,

I want to take this opportunity to update on my fundraising efforts and let you know how the DIS community is doing!

As of Feb 20th, 40 persons indicated the DIS when they donated. These 40 folks contributed a total of $1,352.00! Thank you so much!

To give you an idea of how this compares to my overall effort, I currently have raised over $18,000 (including the DIS funds) from just over 400 donors!

Please be sure to also indicate if there is anyone you'd like me to add to my Walk Dedication page. I carry these names with me throughout the walk weekend.

My Goal for this year is $50,000! I know, it's a lot of money! Last year I raised $40,000. The cause is so important to me that I want to do everything I can to raise funds AND Awareness!

Thank you all so much for your help! Please consider donating today:

And don't forget to add the special sig that Alex has for those who donate!
