In 2007, I raised funds in honor of a lady at my church that was battling breast cancer, and she has since lost her fight. I continue to participate in this cause because breast cancer does affect so many people and I want to make a difference for our future.
In May, we will be heading up north to participate in the DC walk, and if you'd like me to walk in honor of or in memory of someone, please e-mail me their name and I will write the name on my number, on my back for all to see.
Our team has raised more than $87,505.90 since we started in 2006 and we're just getting started!
Now, I've just got to get my body in the walking mode so I can walk, and walk, and walk and walk and walk. Thank you to everyone that made this happen! Maybe next week's trip to Disney will be a great way to start! Now if I could just find the right shoes...but that's another post...
Oh, a trip to Disney is a great place to start training. :-) All the dodging of other people, characters and strollers will get you in shape!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic that you exceeded your fundraising goal!
Congrats on surpassing your goal! I think it is wonderful and I love what you are doing. Both my grandmothers had breast cancer and I think it is so important for people to support research for this cause.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!!! I am so proud of you! YAY!

ReplyDeleteThat is WONDERFUL! Congrats and way to go for supporting such a good cause.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is just fantastic. Congrats and many thanks (BC has touched my family and so has this walk). Xoxo-BLC
ReplyDeleteGet fit at a local Fleet Feet (if there is one close to you) for walking shoes. Trust me, you'll be thankful :-) Good luck and great job on the fundraising!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear that you lost one of your inspirations... this is why we continue the fight though, I guess.
Keep us posted on your journey :-)
If you have room, will you write my Grandma Edna's name? Thanks and congrats cuz!
