Phew!!!! Can I say whooped???!!! Yeah that would be what I am right now. I am finally arousing from my mid-afternoon nap after doing a 15-mile walk completed in 5 hours. Yes that’s what I said 15 MILES!!!! Yes in 5 HOURS!!!!!! If you know me, you know well that I do not really do mornings very well, but thanks to Nico (yes the pesky mutt) I was up by 5:30am (on a Sunday morning none-the-less) and on the course by 6:45 am.
I was skeptical as to how I would feel starting out, but it HAD to get done, if I am to properly prepare for my 3 days of 20 miles/day. I trained with 4 amazing women who in one way or the other was affected by breast cancer personally. The lady who led the training walk is simply amazing to me. She is so inspired and continues to inspire. She has ALWAYS been a survivor she said. She just kicked cancer’s butt last year just before her first 3-day walk. She doesn’t walk for herself, or her first sister who beat it once, or her second sister who shot it down twice, or her mother who jump-kicked it twice as well!!! She is walking for her daughter, her nieces….and your daughters and your nieces…maybe even mine one day. J Her family has a mutation to their BRCA1 gene.
Folks, I am training, fund-raising and walking for your daughters, your nieces, your aunts, your mothers…and maybe even you one day. This year, I am dedicating my birthday to YOU and those you love…in hope to give you ALL many, many more birthdays. Please support me in making this a highly celebrated birthday, by donating to my participation for the research in not only helping people diagnose faster, but actually finding that cure.
Please donate now (there are many payment options), and continue to track my training progress on here my blog. I will also continue to blog while on my actual walk so that you may track that progress as well. International donations are also welcomed. Please feel free to post your comments, encouragements, tips and motivations here.
Thank you those who have donated and thank you in advance for those I know want to help me make a difference.
Thank you for the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER in advance!!!
