Now it's time to focus on our fitness training!
Welcome, and thank you for visiting our AVON 39 team page! We've each made a big commitment. We’ll spend the next few months training to prepare for a walk of a marathon and a half. Each team member must raise at least $1,800 in donations. But because we're in this together, we know that, with your help, we can do it. Please check back here frequently to see how we're doing, and thanks in advance for your support!

The final countdown... we're almost ready!
One month to go until our 39.3 mile Walk to End Breast Cancer! Our plane, hotel and other travel plans are all set, and we're getting excited! But we're not ready yet. Now it's time to step up on training!
A 39.3 mile walk requires lot of physical stamina... after all, that's a marathon and a half in distance. Bo has been taking lots of long walks on the scenic trails around Nevada City and Grass Valley. Meri has been cycling to work (up and down a mountainside). And both of us have been continuing to Zumba at Rhythms Fitness Studio.
Our hike fundraiser on April 17 was a great success, but we're still not quite done yet! We are still $200 short of our $3,600 fundraising goal. Please check out our official Avon39 team page (click Donate Now on the menu above), and help us finish our financial goal so we can focus on our training goal!

We're Just Getting Started
We kicked off our fundraising campaign with a new event last week. We hosted a Family Fun Night at our favorite BBQ, Smiley Guys Smokehouse in Grass Valley. We had a good time with the games, a silent auction, and of course great food. What more do you need? An appearance of Queen Dorlis in all her splendor! We were able to raise $400 in one night.
That's a good start. But we need to raise $1800 each. That's $3600! That's a lot of money! The hardest part of doing these walks is not the actual walk. It is the fundraising. We realized that you probably don't like being asked for money any more than we like asking. But the need is so great. The money raised in this walk goes right back into the community, as well as to research. Please consider supporting our team, and the fight against breast cancer, by clicking on the Donate Now link on the right.

We're back for the 2016 Avon39!
The Itty Bitty Titty Committee of Nevada City is back in action! We're preparing to do the 2016 Avon39: Walk to End Breast Cancer. This event will be held June 4-5, when we'll again walk 39.3 miles - but this time around Chicago. This will be Bo's third Avon walk, and Meri's second.
While this may seem like a long time from now, we are beginning fundraising earlier this year so that we can surpass our team goal of $3600! Please show your support for our team by sharing this with your family and friends, and donating by clicking here.

We did it!
The big weekend finally arrived! On Saturday and Sunday, the Itty Bitty Titty Committee walked a beautiful route of 39.3 miles (including over 150 stairs, and lots of big hills!) in San Francisco, over the Golden Gate Bridge, and through Sausalito to Corte Madera for a night in a pink tent, then back again.
Our team raised a little over $3600 with your help, contributing to a total raised by all the walkers of $4.6 million dollars! This was awarded at the closing ceremony to many organizations to help provide meals and rides to women undergoing breast cancer treatment, mammograms to underprivileged women, and research into improved treatments and finding a cure.
Beautiful trails

Big hills mean great views!
