Updates!




It's been a little while since I've posted... things have been crazy! First and foremost... THANK YOU to all of you... I reached my $20,000 fundraising goal for 2007... which means I hit my $100,000 mark for all-time fundraising. And there's no way I could have done it without all of your help and support.

The whole We Walk team kicked butt! Together, we surpassed our goal and raised more than $39,000! I'm so proud of everybody!

You can see pictures of the walk here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisaspo/sets/72157602833858228/

Next year, I'll be walking in 2 walks... New York (of course!) and the brand new Houston walk in April. I'm very excited to walk in a new city--especially at a new walk... there's just something very, very cool about participating the first time a walk happens in a new place. A couple of my friends will also be walking there, so, it should be a particular blast. Houston's in April, so, I'll actually have to kick fundraising into gear early... so, keep your eyes open for new auctions and fundraising stuff after the New Year. :)

Of course, the Project Teddy Bear and Knock Out Breast Cancer efforts continue. I've gotten a few people lately who I'm *really* excited about... you can see some of them in those photos above. And, I'll leave you with one more below... a glove signed by Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor and John Taylor of Duran Duran! :)

Support The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer!

  • Avon Walk Donation Page for Lisa Spodak
    In 2009, I'm walking in my 16th and 17th Avon Walks! I've raised more than $100,000 since I started walking in 2002... every donation helps... if you can contribute please make a donation on my personal fundraising page. Thank you for your support! :)
  • Breast Cancer Sketch Cards
    My newest fundraiser! My friend Marco over at 258west.com came up with this -- recruiting generous artists to create sketch cards to auction off for the cause! You'll notice lots of tributes to great women of SciFi/Fantasy/Comics: Wonder Woman, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, River Tam, Dana Scully, Ellen Ripley, Starbuck, Princess Leia and so many more!
  • Knock Out Breast Cancer
    As just one way that they help fight breast cancer, Everlast has donated pink boxing gloves for me to get autographed and auction off as part of my fundraising! You can see who I've gotten to sign so far on my website. :)
  • Project Teddy Bear
    One of my favorite fundraisers... I spend a *lot* of time hanging around stagedoors and sending out letters... trying to get celebrities to sign little tags that I attach to breast cancer bears and auction off. When I can, I also take a picture of the star with a bear... and you can see the (very cute) pics on my website. :)
  • Store (Cafepress)
    Please check out my Cafepress store to see dozens of items created from the photos in this blog... all of my profits go to The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer!
