I'm Walkin' . . . Yes, Indeed!

During the last weekend of July 2009 I will be participating in the Relay for Life here in Napa. The Relay is an annual event which supports the American Cancer Society. 

One in three people will receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime.

I've lost my entire immediate family to cancer. My mother died in 1988 of brain cancer. My father lost his battle with stomach cancer in 1990. And my younger brother Dave succumbed to lung cancer in 1997. You can see why this cause is very close to my heart.

Please consider helping me in this cause:

• By donating at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/rturko
• If you live in the Napa Valley, by walking. Sign up at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/unityleague
• If you’re on Facebook, join my group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61152339931
• Forward a link to this blog entry to family and friends
• By praying for me, thinking about me, sending good karma my way (I have a VERY diverse group of friends!)

Thanks so much for considering participating in this worthwhile and vital cause.
