Time To Walk 60 Miles in These Shoes!!

Ok Family, Friends, Acquaintances and People I have yet to meet! A friend of mine, Melissa, and I have decided to walk in the 3-Day, 60 mile, Breast Cancer benefit in November of 2009. I am ecstatic about this decision, and honestly a bit scared, because its a HUGE undertaking. I am going to start training this week, walking will be my new favorite pastime. I am going this weekend to get new shoes to start breaking in for training, and will start thinking of fundraisers this week too.


Cancer has played way too big a role in my family history, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am fighting the odds too. I have always 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 for my own life, a sense of accomplishment for an amazing cause, an accomplishment for my own personal health and wellbeing, a sense of philanthropy to help people I have never met and to contribute to a body of knowledge that I may need to benefit from sometime in my life.

I am starting this adventure without any financial backing, and the fundraising venture seems a bit lofty. My theory- 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 soon 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. More to come in the near future! Remember- Life is a Journey! Not a guided tour!
