About Me:

Check back in the future to learn about me!


Why I Walk:

I am TAKING A STANCE!  This walk is personal for me in a number of ways.
I have multiple family members (and close friends of the family) who have experienced some form of cancer (including breast cancer). Some have survived and are in remission, others survive only in my heart and memories. I hope that my walking will encourage those who have survived, help us to remember those who did not survive, and contribute to what will someday lead to a cure for cancer.

In addition to cancer, my family has a history of diabetes, high-blood pressure, high-cholesterol and so forth, so I too am at risk for similar illnesses. I cannot change my DNA to remove the hereditary factor, but I can address other risks. This walk is one of the ways I am taking a personal stance to mitigate those risks. By training regularly, between initial registration and the walk in October, I will have established a more consistent exercise routine AND hopefully will have lost weight and lowered my cholesterol.
