Well, Well, Well.....I have met the minimum goal of $2300.00 as of 8/14/09 thanks to all of my wonderful friends and family!!! This walk means so much to me. Just to fill you in....2 weekends ago (8/1/09) I walked 7.5 miles with Jeanne & Lisa. The walk was good but also kicked my butt. Not too bad though. I even attended the Kenny Chesney concert that same evening and stood the whole time. Now thats what I call a trooper....LOL!! I will continue to do walks up until the weekend of the walk. I am so honored to do this event. It means the world to me!! I am not doing this for myself I am doing it for my friends & family who have been directly affected by Breast Cancer or any other form. I can't do much while you are going through everything, but I sure as heck can do something to try and help prevent our kids and family members from having to go through it. You all are HEROS in my book.
I have included the details of our walk so you all can see what we will be up to. I may be sore after but that will be my sign that I accomplished what I set out to do.
Thank you again for all of your generosity. You all mean the world to me!!!

The Seattle Breast Cancer 3-Day will begin with an emotional Opening Ceremony at Shoreline Community College, where we'll gather together to pay tribute to the many women and men who have lost their battle with breast cancer, and honor the survivors. We'll remember the reason we're walking as we make our way north into the Richmond Beach area, through the quiet, tree-lined town of Woodway and into scenic downtown Edmonds. We'll
enjoy great views of Puget Sound as we make our way back east into Lynnwood. We will explore Mukilteo before heading to our own private Breast Cancer 3-Day camp in Everett for the night.
On Saturday morning, we'll rise and shine, ready to hit the trail. This second day of walking will wind through historic neighborhoods and downtown Everett. Bask in the cheers from local shops and businesses along the route. Highlights will include lunch overlooking the Sound, before we travel down beautiful tree-lined streets and back to camp for another night of community, camaraderie and fun.
After a short bus ride, the final day of our journey will showcase many major Seattle landmarks, including Green Lake Park, downtown Wallingford and Gas Works Park. On the way to lunch we will pass by the quaint Portage Bay marina and walk through one of the most historic neighborhoods in Seattle. Lunch will be at a gorgeous park with plenty of shade. The route will travel through the fun, eclectic neighborhood of Capitol Hill before heading downtown. We will pass the famous Pike Place market and walk down the waterfront as we make our way to the Seattle Center for a celebratory Closing Ceremony.
