Well another year has come and gone for the Breast Cancer 3 Day. First of all, let me say how grateful I am to all our donors, of which we would never have been able to do this! As a team, we raised $9,100 for Breast Cancer Research and Funding. It is hard to explain what the 3 Day Event is like. Most people will tune us out and call us "Crazy" when we mention, fractured shins, large blisters that need lancing daily, sleeping in tents when it is 40 degrees outside, walking 60 miles, using portable showers on trailers, and the use of a port-o-potty at least 5 times daily. But, there is nothing I would rather do than walk in the Breast Cancer 3 Day. As a camp this year with 3,200 walkers and 700 on medical and crew...we raised 7.9 MILLION dollars!! If that doesn't say, "what we do matters" nothing will.
We have all been touched by Breast Cancer and I look forward to the day when we find a cure and I do not have to walk every year for this cause. For all the women/men who have passed and all the ones surviving as we speak, this is for you. The slide show shows what a great victory this was for Susan G. Komen and I look forward to the blisters and pain that next year will bring!
By the way, if anyone out there would like to join our team, let me know! We have already recruited 4 new members which is double from this year! For more information check out this website:
