Just 2 short weeks ago, breast cancer stole my mother from me, way before I was ready to let her go. I promised her before she died that I would continue to battle for her, and for everyone who has been affected by this awful disease. I wasn't planning to walk this year, but her passing made me even more determined to pick up where she left off. She was with us for every single mile last year. She had just finished chemo and radiation for the 3rd time, yet she came and encouraged everyone for 3 days and 60 miles. She slept on the ground in a pink tent with everyone else, and offered her wheelchair to almost any person that was limping along the way. She was a warrior!
So...Yes, I'm doing it again - I signed up for the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure! I had such an incredible experience doing the Komen 3-Day for the Cure last year that I'm going back for more. This year I really know what I've gotten myself into.
With less than 3 months to raise the $2,300 required to participate, I need your help. I am planning on surpassing the $2300, that you - my friends and family - gave so generously last time around to help end breast cancer.
