The Breast Cancer 3-Day
|
Please support me as I take an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment. Every little bit help!!!
Why I am doing this...
One of my friends decided that she was going to do the breast cancer 3-day to celebrate her birthday. She asked a bunch of us if we wanted to walk with her and at first I thought there was no way I was going to be able to do this. 60 miles in three days...there was no way. The more my friends talked about it, the more I wanted to complete this challenge. I have been blessed that I have not experienced the effects of breast cancer in my family and friends, but I know that may not always be the case. I finally took the plunge. I figure that I have 241 days to train. I can do it.
Team Dash
Why our team is named what it is:
Joan Anderson's book 'A Walk on the Beach' describes her friendship with Joan Erikson in the last years of Erikson's life. She provides an account of the two women wandering through an old cemetery on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Erikson lifts her walking cane and places it on the dates, 18601928, listed on a headstone. "It's all about the dash," she says. The recorded dates of birth and death are the least important aspects of a life. The dash speaks for all the time one spends on earth.
