One of the first contributions I received for my Avon Walk was in memory of Laurie Bork, whom I never met, but whose name I will be wearing on my shirt when I walk next May. I asked Laurie's sister, Jennifer, who made the contribution, to tell me a little bit about her.
"My sister Laurie was a vibrant person who loved life and all it had to offer and you can see this same love for life in her 8-year-old daughter Emily," she wrote. "Laurie was one person you could count on for support no matter what others thought and she is greatly missed."
Making sure that we find a cure for breast cancer, raise awareness of the disease and offer support to women and men who are undergoing treatment is what this walk is about. I'm proud I'll be walking in Laurie's memory.
