Mamma Jamma Ride, September 25, 2010

On September 25, 2010 I will be participating in a powerful grassroots event to help thousands of Texans diagnosed with breast cancer.

With hundreds of people, I will bicycle 100 miles through beautiful Central Texas in the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride. I’m raising money to provide direct care services to Texans diagnosed with breast cancer. Simply, your support will save and improve the lives of thousands of Texans. Check out the 100-mile route:

Breast cancer affects all of us. Over 515 Americans are diagnosed with breast cancer every day and 1 woman out of 8 is diagnosed with breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. 1 man out of 1000 will be diagnosed with breast cancer as well.

I’m riding with Team BCRC, a Central Texas non-profit that helps people affected by breast cancer navigate through diagnosis, treatment, recovery and beyond. The Breast Cancer Resource Center’s Patient Advocates, who staff local treatment centers and hospitals, hold the hands of people diagnosed with cancer. They explain the process, share their own stories of survival, and they make a powerful difference in the lives of Texans.

I have agreed to raise $1500.00. Please Donate Now.

From $5 to $500, your donation makes a big impact. I ask that you sponsor me as a rider and make a difference for some wonderful people who really need us. Help me reach my goal by sharing this link with your friends.

If you prefer you may write a check payable to Texas Mamma Jamma Ride and send to: PO Box 49097, Austin , TX 78765 . Please make sure my name, “Andrea Richeson” is on the memo line of the check. All donations are tax deductible under 501C(3) provisions.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. It means a lot to me, and to all of those individuals who receive help and support through the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride.

All my best,

Andrea
