Every year, in remembrance of my mother, my heart aches to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. However, this year - 2024, I feel inspired to do the actual 3-day walk. It’s hard to believe that 45 years ago my mom passed away from breast cancer. The no. “3” has always had a special meaning in my life. Afterall, I’m an identical twin born 3 minutes after my sister. Perhaps it’s magical to reflect that she died at the age of 45 (4+5=9; a multiple of 3) following a 3-year battle and the cancer walk spans over 3 days. It was my “sign” to walk this year!
The Susan G. Komen 3-Day will raise funds for breast cancer research and help save lives. My mom endured several harsh experimental treatments as a volunteer. Although she was aware that she wouldn’t live, she could be a statistic for others. She was the kind of caring person who gave of herself to help others survive breast cancer. I'm walking in memory of my mother, in memory of friends, to honor friends who are surviving, to honor friends and all who are cancer survivors. And, for all of those who’ve lost a parent, a child, a friend, we understand how important this walk is to raise funds and save the next generation from losing those so important to them.
Oh, and in case you missed it, sixty miles in total over 3 days is another multiple of three – it really is a “sign” for me to walk this year!
