29-Day Giving Challenge

Tomorrow morning I am setting out on my Susan G Komen 3-Day 60 mile walk to raise awareness of breast cancer after raising funds to fight the awful disease.  I am walking in memory of my aunt and grandmother.  I will also be thinking of many others.  I will think of each and every person who supported me in my efforts with this cause and every person who donated (You know who you are).  I will even be thinking of people I've never even met who have been affected by cancer (like Lubabat and Dawn's sister Jenny).  I will be bonding with my cousin and fellow walker.  I will be inspired by the stories I hear relating to the fight against breast cancer.  I will be immersed in a sea of pink!

I am excited, but nervous.  I just know it's going to be a great experience.  I also anticipate extremely sore feet, aching legs, blisters, exhaustion, and who knows what else.  I just hope I can make it the whole 60 miles.  Wish Me Luck! 

We finish up with a closing ceremony on Sunday night and hopefully sometime after that I can let you all know how it went.

 

 

P.S.  my give for today is for a girl I went to college with.  she posted on facebook that she wanted lids from frozen juice concentrate for an activity in her classroom.  I just happen to save those darn things because I've used them for activities in daycare too.  Yeah, those of us who work with young children are a bit different; you wouldn't believe the things we save!  I am mailing a bunch of lids to my friend tonight.
