As many of you know, Breast Cancer awareness, research and treatment is a cause that I’ve been championing for several years.

In 2007, I started Affiliate Marketers Give Back, in an effort to rally the Affiliate Marketing Industry to help me kick Breast Cancer’s ass.

Since then, we’ve raised over $100,000 in unique ways; one of them being an annual Team-Walk for Susan G Komen for the Cure.

This year, Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back will be taking on the 40-mile Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Los Angeles on September 12-13.

The Avon Walk exists to raise funds to fight breast cancer and to bring awareness and education about the disease. It’s also an opportunity for individuals to join forces and generate significant progress in both the treatment of breast cancer and a quest for the cure – while simultaneously having an extraordinary experience.

Brian Clark of Copyblogger.com and Chris Pearson of DIYThemes have already joined the team and we’re looking for some more folks to come along with us.

If you decide to walk with the rest of Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back (“Team AMGB”), you will definitely have an extraordinary experience — we’ve had a blast each year!

Why You Should Walk with Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back

Below are the reasons why others have joined the team in past years:

  • The loss of a close friend or family member
  • Knew someone who was coping with the disease
  • They faced breast cancer themselves
  • Was worried that one day they may be diagnosed with the disease
  • Wanted to feel that they’ve done something to help find a cure
  • Gave them a reason to start an exercise regimen and get into shape
  • Was schnookered into it by Missy Ward :)


  • While everyone has different reasons to walk, together we are connected by our shared commitment to do our part to end breast cancer.

    Ready to Walk With Us Yet?

    It’s a very simple process to sign up. Simply register on the Avon site and select “Affiliate Marketers Give Back” as your walking team.

    Not Able to Walk, But Would Like to Donate or Sponsor the Team?

    There are a number of sponsorship packages available to help support our efforts.

    We’re happy with donations of any amount which can be made through our Team Donation Form.

    I know the economy sucks and now is not the time to be asking for money. However, if you find it possible to help in any way, I’d be forever grateful.

    MissyWard.com runs on the Thesis Theme Framework

    If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.

    Those of you who are “in between,” like myself, can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:

    Hey Jayme,

    I wish I knew someone that could sponsor you. All of the walkers on our team actually pay their own travel expenses.

    What's a check? What if I just send you money via paypal and you just donate it for me?

    I'm happy to do that for you Jim, but then it's not tax deductible for you.

    Yay! Missy & Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back ! ! What a great event (and ONLY 2 days this year!) Very rewarding and a cause that touches us all.

    It doesn't look like I can walk this year — I'll be out of town that weekend — but am there in spirit and am still an enthusiastic Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back supporter!
