AndreaDavis
Andrea Davis is one of those people who walk the walk
— literally. For the past six years, Davis, a training special-
ist for American Airlines in Fort Worth, Texas, has been a
volunteer fund-raiser and awalker in the AmericanCancer
Society’s annual Relay for Life, an all-night walkathon. Not one to sit around, for the past two years Davis
has also raised funds andparticipated in theSusanG. Komen 3-Day, a 60-milewalk tohelp eradicate breast
cancer.Why does she stay on themove somuch? “I do thesewalks in support of friends and familywhohave
been touchedby cancer,”Davissays. “I alsodo it inhopes that I never, everhave towalk formynine-year-old
daughter, Alyssa.”
For Davis, thewalks are just one part of a year-round regimen of volunteering in the community, much of
whichshedoeswithherdaughter. “Myparents taughtme thevalueofhelpingothersanddoingwhatyoucan, so
I try to raisemydaughter todo thesame,”shesays. The two regularlydo thingssuchascollectwish-list items
formilitary troops, help an area outreach center, anddonate
itemsat achildren’shospital. Davis’sdaughter isalsoat her sideduring theall-nightwalkathon.
Davis is quick to credit the support of her coworkers in her volunteer activities, as well, noting
their help in raising funds for the Komen walk in particular. “Everybody I work with and even the
people who are visiting for training are very supportive in helpingme with creative ways to raise
money,” she says. “I couldn’t do theSusanG. Komenwalkwithout their help.”
Sowill Davis ever sit down and take a breather from volunteering?Not likely. “I do this because I
enjoy it and feel strongly about it.”
