Congratulations - you did it! You gave your heart, soul, sweat and tears for three days and created some remarkable memories along the way.
The 2010 Susan G. Komen Seattle 3-Day for the Cure began with an emotional Opening Ceremony at 60 Acres Park in Kirkland. We spent most of the morning along the Sammamish River Trail and North Creek Trail. Despite the rain, the Pink Sequin Bra guys were there to cheer us on as we headed towards the AT &T Cheering Station at pit stop 3. We walked through Bothell, Mill Creek and Everett and were supported along the way by friends, family and community groups. The Lynnwood Fire Department was a highlight and the 94.1 KMPS team energized the crowd at the afternoon cheering station. After a long, wet day of walking we arrived to camp at Kasch Park.
The clear blue skies were a welcome surprise when we woke up Saturday morning. We headed north out of camp and were greeted by the New Balance Cheerleaders at pit stop 2. The Forest Park Seventh Day Adventist Church had an incredible pink balloon arch stretched across the street. A few blocks later Anmrie’s Army served coffee and snacks. Mama Fox’s block on Grand Avenue in Everett welcomed us with balloon arches, water bottles and a mobile cheering unit. We took pictures at the Pair Tree before lunch at American Legion Park. Cheering stations were packed and the community was out to show us how much they care. When we arrived back at camp we were treated to a Candy Coburn concert, camp show and a fun-filled dance party.
We awoke Sunday morning to rainy skies and boarded buses to Northwest Outpatient Medical Center where we started the final day of our journey. Fuel Coffee and the Parrotheads of Puget Sound cheered us along, as did the Glacier Peak High School cheerleaders, the Tit Stop and the Seattle Fire Department. The rain eventually cleared and we ate lunch at Volunteer Park in Capitol Hill. We made our way through downtown Seattle, along the Waterfront and finished at Memorial Stadium right beneath the Space Needle. Friends, family and our wonderful Crew were there to welcome us to a celebratory Closing Ceremony.
