Welcome to my fundraising page for the Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer! Please donate to support me as I prepare to walk 30 miles in October. The money raised by the Georgia 2-Day Walk stays right here in Georgia to support breast health and breast cancer programs throughout the state- what's raised in Georgia stays in Georgia!
This charity is near and dear to my heart as many of you know. My family lost one of our matriarch's when I was growing up, my Grandaunt Connie Duggan or as I called her "Tante Tip". My family and I will forever cherish her memories and I hope to continue to honor her memory by walking every year!
I have two special women that I'm walking for this year, first being Rima McGraw Whittington, who recently found out she has stage 1 Breast Cancer. Not only has she been a wonderful friend, she is also a staple for the community here in Woodstock and the surrounding areas! Rima is the proud owner of Woodstock Flowers and Gifts in Downtown Woodstock for the last 10 years and truly puts her soul into her job. The arrangements and weddings she is able to create for are truly some of the most beautiful works of art I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! Rima would give anyone the shirt off her back if it meant helping someone in any way. You'll never see her without a smile on her face and maybe a margarita in her hand lol! Throughout our friendship she has been such a huge contributor of the Georgia 2 Day Walk for Breast Cancer. Putting aside her busy schedule she still made time to make it to every Guston's Fundraiser and Golf Tournament's each year. I thank her so much for always being so supportive, it's time for my community (The Georgia 2 Day) to be supportive of you! Rima has such a positive outlook on this whole situation it's an inspiration to us all. It's an honor to walk for you!
Second being Michelle Faucher who is just an absolute gem of a human being! She is engaged to one of Donnie's closest friends and quicky became a wonderful friend of ours as well! There is so much positivity that radiates off Michelle! She immediately lights up the space she is in especially if the Atlanta Braves are involved! The second Michelle heard that Guston's was doing a charity Golf Tournament benefiting Breast Cancer she was all over it from day one! Her and the company she works for, Biltmore Insurance, have been so beneficial in sponsoring these events the last few years and I can't thank her enough. When I heard the news about her diagnoses my heart sank. I know it's not much but being able to walk to honor her fight means the world to me.
Please continue to pray for both these incredible women who continue to fight Breast Cancer.
HELP ME, help others, by donating!
From the bottom of my heart, I can't thank everyone enough who has donated. This will be my 8th year walking and I hope to add many more miles under my belt! -Ashley Mackay
