3-Day Breast Cancer Walk

Absolute fail. I wanted to do this ever since my Grandma died of breast cancer in 99. I was only nine at the time so I had to wait until I was 18 to go because none of my relatives was able to run with me. Iwas so exited to run that I signed up for one of those meetings to get started and I found out the wanted over 2000 $ to run. I don’t know enough people that could donate to make that much and being a student myself I would not be able to pay the difference.
But, no these people seem to care more about the money. I admit it upsets me deeply. We should be one collective force, ignoring how much each person has to give. As long as someone puts in what they can and has a positive attitude why should it matter? Had they let people join up for even as little as 50 $ so many more people would be able to give and feel involved. Just because some people here are lower middle class (This is becoming more and more common in this shifty economic time) doesn’t mean we don’t care about other people. We want to help but, can only do so much.

We DID IT!!!
wow. What an experience. Blisters on my feet, a sunburn on my nose and an injured knee… but I would do it again in a heartbeat. The emotion I felt each and everyday while doing this was something I cannot even explain. 3300 walkers in Seattle and EACH one has a reason for walking. Mine was my mom’s passing due to cancer and my continual pledge to her memory and fighting breast cancer.
I salute Cici my peanut butter jelly roll, Terrell my lord’s prayer walker when our feet were about to give out, Heather who continued to walk while I was speaking about UW to her, and Kathy who cut her shoes to keep walking. I *ADORE* you all and so happy you were on my team.

This is awesome! I’m glad I noticed Carly L.‘s profile foto as I’m also doing the walk this year.
It’s my first time. I have new shoes and am wearing them now. They are so cute.
And to make this less about my shoes, this for my children, who might have a genetic malformation that greatly increases their risk for various cancers including passing along an 85% risk factor for breast cancer to any female offspring they eventually have.
My team is doing its practice walks on the Eastside, usually Tuesday and Thursday evenings, if any of you want to walk with us.
Yay!

I’m walking this year.
I’m walking in 2008 because I can. I walking because the blisters, the tired feet and achy body is nothing compared to what it is like to endure the disease. The money me and my team (of fellow Unilocalers!) will raise goes toward the research to find a cure for Breast Cancer.
Walking 60 miles is the least I can do.
If you want to know how you can help me and Team Pretty in Pink!
