Walk with Me
Many of you remember Sheri, my first Mother's Story client, whose battle with breast cancer I helped chronicle for three years, until her tragic death last fall. She was the inspiration for the entire program, and I am truly a better person for having known her and her sweet family. Today, June 2, would have been her 44th birthday, had breast cancer not cut her much celebrated life short.
In her memory, as well as the honor of all the brave women whose lives have been forever changed by cancer that I have met through the program and in my personal life, I am participating in the 3-day, 60 mile walk this October. We will walk 20 miles a day for three days straight, hand in hand with survivors and their families, raising both awareness and much-needed funds for research and treatment, so that one day no one will face the pain and heartbreak of losing a wife, sister, daughter, or mother. We will walk to write a new chapter in the story of breast cancer, this time one with a happy ending.
Here's where you come in. Walk with me! I've got a few friends already signed up but we'd love the company! Not a walker? Help me raise money! Each walker needs to raise at least $2200 to participate, but of course the more we can raise, the better! All funds raised go to the world-renowned Susan G. Komen Foundation, a truly respected and reputable cause. Short on funds? I'll take the morale support! The training has already begun, and I'm sure it will be a long, difficult track. And of course the weekend after... be patient with me while my body recovers!
You can find out more information about the race, including how to sign up and/or donate money by clicking here.
And of course, I'll have my camera along with me every step of the way... so be sure and stay tuned as the date approaches for images from my journey. And until then, look forward for updates on the event, as well as regular breast cancer awareness PSAs.
The road to ending breast cancer is a long one, no doubt. But together we can get there, one step at a time. Walk with me.
