As you all may have heard on the radio, TV, the 60km Weekend to End Women’s Cancer walk is taking place again this year Sept 11-12th in Toronto . In 2006, I embarked on this incredible journey and it truly was an experience I will never forget. The commitment and the passion of each person who dedicated their time to help raise $2000 each and joined together to walk on these two days sharing in a common dream…to find a cure was indeed special ! Often we don’t think one person can make a difference until one person suddenly joins forces with 4999 other one persons which were ultimately supported by thousands of one persons..you get the picture..that year over $11 million dollars was raised.
This year I am not walking but I have the privilege to be a volunteer and participate on the Johnson & Johnson pit crew and will be joining other volunteers on Saturday working behind the scenes to support the walkers. Johnson & Johnson Medical has joined forces with other Johnson & Johnson companies and committed to raising $45,000 alone from the Markham facility! The Johnson & Johnson Family is committed to raising $116,500.00.
“Caring for the World…..one person at a time inspires and unites the people at the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies. We embrace research and science – bringing innovative ideas, products and services to advance the health and well-being of people” together this team is dedicated to achieving this vision.
The JJMP team of walkers are passionate, kind and caring men and women with whom I have the honor to work with every day who have dedicated their time over the last several months fundraising and will walk in Sept to help find a cure in honor of loved ones whom they have either lost, or don’t ever want to lose or be subjected to this horrible disease.
I am asking for your help and support. If you are able to make a small donation to any member of the JJMP team, it would be greatly appreciated . The link below will bring you to the Team Johnson & Johnson site, listed there are all the team members . Select someone from the JJMP team who hasn’t reached their fundraising goal and help them get one step closer. We are dedicated as a team to reach this $45,000 commitment.

Once again, thank you for your support . I know I have a caring network who have been touched by this disease in some way, often we aren’t sure exactly how to help and this is a small way in which we each can join together for a common purpose..to find a cure!
Every donation helps no matter how big or small.
Thank you for helping Team Johnson & Johnson!!
Warmest,
