Disclaimer: I'm completely about to copy from Jodi.... Your blog said all that I was looking for, and I cannot wait for us to complete this journey together!!!....
Ok Family, Friends, Acquaintances and People I have yet to meet! A new friend of mine, Jodi, and I have decided to walk in the 3-Day, 60 mile, Susan G Komen, Breast Cancer benefit in November of 2009. I am ecstatic about this decision, and honestly a bit scared, because its a HUGE undertaking.
Cancer has played way too big of a role in my family history, as many of you know with my Mom being a breast cancer survivor...and I know that I may be fighting the odds as well. I have often seen photos and video of people that accomplish this huge goal and I am always in awe, and a bit envious of them. I want that empowerment in my own life, a sense of accomplishment for an amazing cause, the benefit I will receive for my own personal health and wellbeing, a sense of philanthropy to help people I have never met and to honor a my mother and all those who have been diagnosed with this life changing disease.
I am starting this adventure without any financial backing, and the fundraising venture seems a bit lofty. My theory is that raising some money is a lot, seriously- A LOT easier to deal with than cancer- so I am ready to tackle that head on. My first attempt is to ask my family and friends that read this blog to search within themselves to think about what you might be able to contribute to this cause. I am going to open my donation site soon, and will update the blog at that time with the information- but please think about all who will benefit from your donation- who may have benefited from this in the past and what you can do to help a most worthy cause!
I will also need moral support from all of you as I train to walk 60 miles in only 3 days!!! WOW, that is going to be fun, exhausting, and exhilarating all at the same time. Thank you Jodi for being my partner in this adventure!! It will be something that we will never, ever forget!!!
I cant wait!! Its all I can think about right now! Yeah us!!
