Many of you first met SGT Gil Zepeda through this post about his efforts to provide much-needed shoes to children in Iraq.

The SGT is home now, but has by no means taken a break from being a Hero. He is now working to raise funds through Avon's Walk for Breast Cancer:

WHY?!?!...Because I Can!!!
Today is July 05, 2006 and I've taken on a challenge to raise $$ for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. On the 16th and 17th of September, I will participate in a 40 mile walk over the course of 2 days but I need your help and that of many many more. I am to raise a min. of $1,800.00. However, the personal goal I've set is for $50,000.00. How can this be achieved. I ask that you read my personal message and goal plan. Together, just like Soles 4 Souls, you can help me help others by achieving this goal.

There are two ways to donate:
1st: You can donate online when logging on to my personal webpage.

2nd: I can forward to you a donation slip along with an envelope that you simply fill out and mail in. With the help of many, Soles 4 Souls was a huge success. Help me to do the same with a contribution ($5.oo, the cost of a Starbucks coffee, the cost of a Fast Food Lunch) towards my goal. I Thank You and appreciate all you have done and continue to do in supporting me and believing in my Visions, Goals and Dreams

I put my donation in this morning. It's quick and easy - you can even give yours in memory or honor of someone you love. Please help Gil raise the $50,000 he's set as a goal - donate, forward information, link or trackback - whatever you are able to do.

Thank you.
