Thank You for visiting my blog. The intention of this blog is to be able to share a journey with you every step of the way. I am a 2011 Ambassador for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the cure. I am honored.
I have taken on an incredible challenge. On November 4th, I'll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with me.
It's for an event called the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure®.
Net proceeds from the 3-Day for the Cure are invested in community-based breast health programs and breast cancer research. The research funded focuses on decreasing breast cancer incidence and mortality in the next decade. In order to participate, each walker is asked to raise a minimum of $2300.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure® works hard to build a future without breast cancer, and I plan on raising $2500 to help bring us closer to that goal.
So many of us have personal connections to Breast Cancer. My favorite teacher of all time was my Kindergarten teacher. She taught me all I ever needed to know - including how to catch the Gingerbread Man. Some of you know her as Mrs. Henton, but I am lucky enough to be able to call her Grandma. My Grandma, is a Breast Cancer SURVIVOR!
My husband Kirt is my rock. He has really supported my decision to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure®. He too has a close connection to Breast Cancer. Kirt’s Cousin Judy Savely and Aunt Patricia Jessup are both Breast Cancer SURVIVORS!

Finally, my favorite quote:
