Please support my Climb Against the Odds 2014!

Support my climb beyond the pink to prevent breast cancer!

In June 2014 I will participate in the Breast Cancer Fund's Climb Against the Odds, a mountain expedition for breast cancer prevention.  I've joined this inspiring team of women and men from across the country to help stop this disease before it starts. 

This climb is something I have wanted to do since I first learned about it in college when I attended a presentation by a climber in Maine.  To say she inspired me is an understatement.  It's taken me 15 years to finally sign up and her inspiration is still with me!  June of 2014 is particularly special to me because I will turn 40.  I decided there was no better way to celebrate.  We are currently scheduled to summit on my birthday, but this journey is not about me. This climb is about education, research and most importantly inspiring others to get involved. Every step of this process will be a celebration for me. 

Will you join me in this journey of a lifetime by making a donation to support my climb?  Each climber is raising $6000 for this year's Climb Against the Odds event.  There are around 30 climbers annually making this a minimum $180,000 fundraising climb.  Many climbers raise much more than their minimum fundraising goal. Proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Fund who works to identify and eliminate the environmental causes of breast cancer.  

Click on the "DONATE HERE" link below to make a donation.  If you donate $100 or more you will have the option to create a prayer flag in honor of or in memory of someone you know who has battled breast cancer when you make your donation.  You can also send checks payable to The Breast Cancer Fund and put my name in the memo line of the check.  Checks can be mailed to 1388 Sutter Street, Suite 400 San Francisco, CA 94109-5400. The Tax ID # is 94-3155886. And please follow me on my blog and be part of my adventures http://cristinbaileysclimbagainsttheodds2014.blogspot.com/

Between now and June, I'm training to climb 14,179-foot Mt. Shasta in Northern California. At the same time, I'm fundraising in support of the Breast Cancer Fund's groundbreaking work to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease.

Everyone has been touched in some way by this devastating disease. Together, we'll make prevention possible.

Thank you for your support, Cristin Bailey
