Hello Dr. Bertha, Dr Abkin, My Program For Life, and staff,

First of all, THANK YOU so much for all your office has done for me. With the tools you have given to me I have been able to lose over 160 lbs (from my highest weight) and I am working to continue my weight loss. In the last year and a half I have been very busy getting healthy, I try to work out as much as possible and I actually enjoy my time outdoors ~ we spend lots of time camping and kayaking. I also have been busy working on a website and I am trying to get a cookbook together soon.

As a tribute to my new found health I have decided to do the two day 39 mile Avon Breast Cancer walk. So I wanted to forward my link (it is below in the forwarded e-mail) I would appreciate any support that you could provide. As you may be aware in order to be able to walk in the event I am required to raise a minimum of $1800, I would like to raise more since it is such a good cause... and lets face it when I do things I like to go big or go home!

In my mind the ability to complete this walk is the the marking of my success on this journey. I know that the walk is for breast cancer but to me it is a general measure of my health. I would really appreciate your support, if you want more information on my journey please visit my site www.shrinkingstella.com .

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Warmest regards,

Stella

Dear Friends and Family,

As you may know, I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? I didn't, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has become in this country.

I am eager to get started with my fundraising and I need your support! I have pledged to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as part of my participation in the walk. Your contribution will help to support medical research into the possible causes of and cure for breast cancer, education and early detection programs, and clinical care and support services for women with breast cancer in communities across the country. There is a special focus on helping medically underserved women, the poor, minorities, the elderly, or those with inadequate health insurance. And much of the money granted by the Foundation goes back to the communities where it was raised, supporting everything from local grassroots programs to national organizations.

It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Thank you for your support; you really do make a difference.
