Welcome to my fundraising page for Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter's 9th Annual Mother's Day Walk. Pink Heals is a true not for profit made up of all volunteers. Every dollar fundraised stays right in our community to help those battling. It is an organization that means a lot to me and I hope you are able to contribute. We are walking in honor of my late mother, Billie Jean, who passed away from leukemia in 1992 at the age of 38. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while…to pay it forward, as a ‘thank you’ for the people who helped my family out when my mom got sick all those years ago. I was 13 when she was diagnosed, and I remember people showing up with literal truckloads of groceries, people making us meals, and volunteering to provide rides to/from practice and games…many of whom were complete strangers. Those acts have stuck with me to this day…it takes a whole community. Please join me and Tara on the walk, or donate if you can ??.
Thank you for any amount you can give!

We started our Annual Mother's Day Walk 9 years ago to raise funds, awareness and honor/support/remember those battling. We are use the color PINK not because of breast cancer...but because it is the color of women. We suppport Women and Their Families, Not Causes. We focus on the person, not their disease. We use the funds from our Annual Walk to help support our community throughout the year.
