Why I Walk and Joined This Team:

Because I can't NOT walk!

I'm truly addicted to the 3-Day. This will be my 4^th year walking in the 3-Day.

Year 1 – The walk was hard.

There were not many people on the route cheering us on.

There was no one to help with us with our gear or supplies.

But the walk wasn't as hard as watching Sheila cry at closing ceremonies as she caressed a picture of her sister, who had passed away the previous year from breast cancer.

The walk wasn't that hard.

Year 2 – The Thanks for the Mammories (TFTM) team continued to grow.

The fundraising was exhausting. I was always trying to come up with fundraising ideas and hitting up everyone I knew to "pleeeease give".

But the fundraising was not as exhausting as watching my sister in law lay in an intensive care bed for eight days after her last chemo treatment.

The fundraising wasn't that exhausting.

 
Year 3 – TFTM again grew and the SOB's joined in too. 

The training was so time consuming. The long training walks on the weekend took most of my free time.

But it didn't take away nearly the amount of time that I've lost with my Mom due to breast cancer.

Yea, the walk is hard, exhausting, time consuming but breast cancer sucks so I have to walk. It's not a choice for me anymore.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!!

Thanks for supporting me throughout the years!!  I can't do it with out you!!
