Men With Heart,
We’re looking to bring back some of you guys who we haven’t seen in the last couple of years. How does help with your fundraising sound? How does free travel and hotel sound?
How much easier can we make it for you?
Men With Heart and Komen have a couple of incentive programs to get you reengaged. Breast cancer hasn’t been wiped out since you last walked. We need you back in the game!
Here are some of the details on the programs:
Men With Heart
MWH will help you fundraise for the 2016 Avon Boston and/or Komen Philly walks.
- If you raise at least half the fundraising minimum through your MWH link, MWH will cover the other half! (Of course, we hope you raise more!)
- If you recruit a new member to MWH who walks in either the 2016 Boston or Philly walk, MWH will contribute $1,000 toward your walk fundraising!
Komen
If previously walked the Komen Boston, but haven’t walked since Komen left town, Komen will pay your round trip airfare plus two hotel nights for you to participate in the Komen Philly walk!
There are, of course, a few stipulations, which can be found here: http://www.the3day.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_promotions_reunion . The most important condition is that you’ve got to register by March 1st!
The upshot is, if you have been thinking about getting re-involved with the cause, these incentives from MWH and Komen should make it a no-brainer. So how about joining us again for another walk? Isn’t it time we put the “HEART†back into Men With Heart?
Please contact Frank McSorley at fmcsorley@comcast.net or call his cell @ 617-285-0233 for more details.

About Pam
After suffering her first bout with cancer in 2002, Pam Washek decided to turn her pain into purpose by helping others experiencing similar crises. She and her friend Jean Seiden first conceived of Wayland Angels after each of them received caring acts of kindness from their own neighbors as they faced long treatments, while valiantly keeping their families strong and together. In 2010, Pam turned Wayland Angels into Neighbor Brigade to give people in communities beyond her hometown a way to support their fellow neighbors when serious illness or other tragedy strikes.
Pam’s vision was to establish a chapter of neighbor-based volunteers in every town across Massachusetts, then New England and the nation. She believed it was an imperative not only for those who needed the assistance, but also for the volunteers themselves. Pam understood our shared human need for community and our need to care for and be cared by one another.
Pam lost her battle with cancer in 2012, but her legacy lives on in Neighbor Brigade. The organization has grown to 35 chapters and over 4,800 volunteers. Having given us the roadmap and pointed us in the right direction, our “angel†continues to urge us forward.

The 2014 Boston Avon Walk is long over. The 2014 Boston Komen Walk never happened, with Susan G. terminating her Boston 3-day the year before. All of which may leave dedicated breast cancer fighters feeling a void.
If this describes you, consider joining a couple of upcoming events:
- the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk on Sept. 21
- the Komen Race for the Cure on Sept. 28
The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk raises the most money of any single-day walk in the nation and has raised nearly $95 million for the fight against cancer since 1989. When you participate in the Walk, you fundraise for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s lifesaving mission to conquer all forms of cancer in children and adults.
The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure series is the world’s largest and most successful education and fundraising event for breast cancer ever created. Thanks to events like the Race for the Cure, the Komen Foundation has invested over $2 billion to fulfill its promise, playing a critical role in virtually every major advance in breast cancer. But, there is still work to be done, and this race helps maintain critical momentum.
We hope to see you on these walks!
