Men With Heart

Angelo’s 2009 Boston 3-Day Page

Dear Friends,

The time of the year has come again.

Yes, I’m doing it again – I signed up for the Breast Cancer 3-Day and the Avon 2-day Breast Cancer Walk this year! I had such an incredible experience walking the 3-Day and crewing the 2-Day Avon Walk last year that I’m going back for more. I’m so excited about these events, even though this year I really know what I’ve gotten myself into. This year I will be the walking Captain of an incredible team of Guys called Men With Heart. The donations this year will be handled through our team in an effort to help walkers that will not make the minimum at the day of the walk.

Do you remember when the word “cancer” was only spoken in hushed tones? Well, it’s time for me and you to start making noise and taking action against this disease that has devastated many families. Cancer claimed the lives of two good friends last year, my high school friend Veta in Greece and our sweetheart Ipswich VFW bartender and fellow poker player Debbie. Even though the money will not bring either back, we can raise awareness for prevention and cure. Last week I met personally my first male breast cancer survivor, a wonderful guy named Peter Deveraux. This week will be his last treatment, and he is full force restarting his life.

Without a cure, an estimated 5 million Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer – and more than 1 million could die – over the next 25 years. That’s a pretty startling statistic. No one should have to face this disease, so we walk in order to create a future without breast cancer. Walking 60 miles was hard, but I will keep walking until breast cancer is no longer. I walk because everyone deserves a lifetime. I walk because I can.
