So, I just made a huge commitment, and I am really excited about it.
Last November my cousins Kate and Carrie and my Aunt Sally participated in a 3-day walk to raise money for the fight against Breast Cancer, and I've decided to join them this year. I will be raising $2,300, and then in November I will be walking 60 miles over 3 days with some of my favorite ladies. It's going to hurt, but it is going to be great! I'm a slow walker, so I have a lot of work to do to get up to speed. (Pun completely intended.)
I'm really excited to take a more proactive stance against this illness. My mother and aunt and several women I know are survivors, and then too many people I know have been painfully affected when women in their lives have not survived.
And then as the mother of one little girl and one more on the way, I have two extra compelling reasons to fight for a world without breast cancer.
I'm lucky to have an amazing husband who is supporting this adventure. He plans to take on all mommy duties during the weekend of the walk including bringing the girls to San Diego so they can support their momma.
Of Course I'll still be doing the pumping/ nursing myself, but a breast cancer walk seems like a breast feeding friendly place. Right? After all our team name is Breast in Show!
I know our team is open for new walkers, so if you are interested in joining the fight/ walk, let me know.
If you can't walk with us, consider donating to Breast in Show at My Donation Page.
