3-Day Journey

Well, tomorrow begins my fifth 3-Day journey, into a sea of PINK! (watch for mobile uploads on FaceBook)  It seems like I just did this, but then the time does go more quickly as we get older (did I really just say that?)  And speaking of getting older, tomorrow is my 51st birthday, and I cannot think of a better way to spend it.  The Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk is such an uplifting, life-affirming event I simply would not miss it.  There will be laughes, tears, hugs, cheers and of course, lots of porta-potties!

Here are a few highlights from last year's journey...

South Bay Walkers Rock!

Everybody loves a 'Sharp Dressed Man' !!!!

Cancer, Watch Out--We're Coming After You!

The epitome of strength...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Here are a few facts:

• One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
• Breast cancer knows no boundaries--be it age, gender (that's right, men do get breast cancer, folks), socio-economic status or geographic location.
• The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older (boo!)
• Early detection and effective treatment for breast cancer have been shown to improve survival.
• Making healthy lifestyle choices may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
• There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States today.
• Breast cancer affects more than just the patient--co-survivors (friends, family and co-workers) need support, too.

Love, from your breast buddy! 

There is no whining on the 3-Day!

This is totally true, by the way...

Conquer the Bridge!

The excitement builds as we move toward the starting line...

Up, up, up...
