My name is Meagan. On October 25-26 2008 I will be walking 39 miles in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. In order to participate I must raise at least $1800.While brainstorming for ways to raise money me and my friend Noni decided to write a song and make a music video. As a tribute, fundRAZOR and awareness method I will be getting a mohawk when I reach my goal… hence CURLS For A CURE.

If you would like to donate please visit www.avonwalk.org/meaganbetts

UPDATE!
My walk was a success and the mohawk was a beut! The walks and cause have had such an impact on my life that I will be walking all 9 cities. I am the youngest person to ever sign up for that! I am required to raise at least $1800 to walk so I must raise at least $16,200 to walk all 9. Your support is so appreciated!
Please visit www.avonwalk.org/meaganbetts to be a part of my mission to end breast cancer and/or to learn more!

See this girl to my right
she came over for the night
and she was telling me about a little project
for all you boys and all you girls
pay attention to those curls
they’re more important to our world
than you might expect
it’s called curls for a cure
chopping hair to fight cancer
and every dollar snips a lock
brings her closer to a mohawk
the donations we collect
all go to the little project
called the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
39 miles in hot weather
and your feet get tired
and it’s hard to do
doing that charitable thing you do
but she’s gonna pull through
with some help from you
in other words
Meagan said she’ll shave her head
help fund for the walk
and she’ll get a mohawk
you might call her crazy
but the girl ain’t lazy
she’s a philanthropist baby
she do it on the daily
oh, just look at the smile on her face
it says, “I’m going to save second base.”
y’all this is literally a headcase
get our your dough
there’s no time to waste
but all sillyness aside
if you want to help to provide
a little goes a long way
you could save a life today
and if you’re looking for a better you
well this gal might be just a step ahead of you
well come on and meet her at the finish line
cuz it don’t take much time
and we don’t have much time

Alone lost and broken
Dying to be set free
She prays the unheard prayer
Of a solider dressed in pink
Wont you set her???

You can only run so far
You can only run so fast
Now we have our share hardships
But this girls on her knees
This wasnt where she started
And its not how shes gonna leave
Wont you set her free Lord???
This Solider in Pink

You can only run so far
You can only run so fast
When your running for yourself
Or your loved one that has past
To be set free
First you gotta believe
Youre a solider in pink

YES a solider in pink
Youre a solider in pink

Yes Its darkest before dawn
In this valley there aint no peaks
So I sing this little song
for those ladies dressed in pink

Wont you set them free Lord???

Yes Your Soldiers in Pink

You can only run so far
You can only run so fast
When your running for yourself
Or your loved one that has past
You can cry why me?
Or you can just believe
Youre a solider in pink

YES a solider in pink
Youre all soldiers in pink

You can only run so far
You can only run so fast
You can only run so far
You can only run so fast

Well, the music is about running for life and hope. On my journey I’m still walking :) Here is a video of pictures from the two walks I have participated. If you give yourself reasons why you can’t do something, try to give yourself reason why you can. Even though I am obese, I can still walk miles and help others. More pictures at: http://pink4help.multiply.com/ or for info about the walk: www.avonwalk.org
