20-Mile Training Walk for Breast Cancer 3-day

On August 16th, Missy Ward from Affiliate Summit (Captain of Team Affiliate Marketers Worldwide) and Jen Fluker from Market Leverage did a 20-mile (almost) training walk to get ready for the Seattle Breast Cancer 3-Day / 60-mile walk benefitting the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure.

Missy and Jen, along with 9 other Affiliate Marketers will meet up in Seattle on September 11th and spend the next 3 days walking, talking, having fun and stopping breast cancer. Their goal is to raise $40,000 and they’re nearly there.

Making Great Strides

I realized this morning, I leave two weeks from today to embark on a journey I am sure to remember the rest of my life.

Earlier this month many of us attended Affiliate Summit in Boston. We met each other, many of us, for the first time.

This is a few of us… Including my husband, who won’t be walking but proudly wears boob shirts.

While attending the event we sold fabulous buttons that said “I Gave back” for $10 each. We only spent a single day selling, but came away with just over $1600.00. More importantly we came away having met so many more that shared stories and heart felt compation for the cause. It was truly a great exeperience, and I imagine just a small taste of what lies ahead.

So now that I am in “the walk is almost here” mode, I, along with the rest of the team are starting to pick up last minute necessities. We’re finalizing our registration processes, wrapping up our travel plans and trying to mentally prepare for this big adventure.

I’m excited! I have no idea, really, of what awaits — but it’s a challenge I am looking forward to – because it’s a path to a change I want to be a part of!

It’s not too late, if you’d like to help support our team and the fight for breast cancer, please make a donation and share the joy!

Dress Missy Up for Charity

First, I’d like to personally thank everyone that stopped by the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com table at the Meet Market in Boston to pick up their “I Gave Back” button and raffle ticket.

I don’t have a final total of what we raised because many of us sold buttons over the course of the 3 days and donations are still coming in. However, I think we will wind up around $1,500 or so! These donations will be divided up amongst the team members fund raising accounts, who staffed the table during the Meet Market.

I’d like to also thank all the folks who let me “persuade” them into purchasing more than one button and raffle ticket because “I didn’t have change” 😉

The generosity of the Affiliate Marketing community has been overwhelming. We’re well on our way to our $45,000 goal. Once these donations are applied to our fundraising account, we’ll likely be close to $32,000!

That being said, we still have hurdle to jump in order to hit our target.

This Friday (August 22nd), our Team Shirts will be ordered. There is room for four additional sponsors and we’d love to add you! The cost to have your logo placed on our team’s shirts and on the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com website is $1,000.

Team Shirt

Donations can be made in any of your favorite walker’s names here: www.60-milewalk.com. We’ll be wearing the shirts during the event and will be taking lots of photos and videos that will be placed on the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com site.

Lastly, as many of you know, when it comes to raising money for Breast Cancer Research, I’ll do just about anything for donations.

In the spirit of that, I would be honored to wear any company’s sticker, button, fairy wings, dunce cap, clown nose or whatever it is you’d want me to wear, for 1 day during the walk for a $250.00 donation in my name at http://www.Missys60MileWalk.com

The only thing that I ask, is that it is something that doesn’t prevent me from walking 20 miles that particular day or cover up my team shirt.

So have some fun at my expense — it’s for a good cause. And, I assure you, I will not hold it against you 😉

Thanks for everything!
