I am walking 60 miles.
Why on earth would I do that? To raise money and awareness for breast cancer treatment, that's why. I'm walking for my mother-in-law, a breast cancer survivor. I'm walking for Corrine, my step-mother's best friend (and who did my hair when I was an awkward pre-teen and bought me lipstick on the sly) who died three years ago from breast cancer. I'm walking for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
a2zmom's mother and her friend who was recently diagnosed. I'm walking for you. Your mothers, daughters, sisters, friends.
Did you know the Susan G. Komen Foundation is from Dallas? That it was started by one woman as a promise to her dying sister to find a cure? Did you also know that 100% of the money I will raise will go directly to paying for medical expenses for a woman being treated for breast cancer? 100%. I've paid for all of my own expenses, as have all of the other tens of thousands of participants. The 3 Day isn't the "Race for the Cure." That's another fantastic event, but this is 3 days. 3 days of me walking 20 miles. With survivors. With their families. All of us have agreed to raise $2200, or pay the difference. That's how committed we are. If you have the ability to donate, I've linked to my donation page. If you would rather get involved in another way, consider joining the Crew for a 3 day in your area. Or check out their store and buy some cool products - 85% of sales go to medical expenses. Again, I want to publicly thankcrevette for being my inspiration to join up. Her walk is coming up in less than 2 weeks, and I'm rooting for you and telaryn!
[ETA:] If you would like me to add someone's name to my Walk shirt, leave a comment - or send me an email at myusername[at]livejournal[dot]com - with their name. I'll proudly add it.
Thanks for indulging me. And for those of you that have made donations, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now, on to TV! ( Heroes, aka the show with the hot Indian and the guy with a mush mouth. )
Studio 60! ( Aaron Sorkin thinks he can write sketch comedy. He can't. But there's great stuff in this show. )
State Fair of Texas! ( The stars at night, are big and bright! *clap clap clap clap!* )
Okay, wrapping up this ramble fest. How is everyone today? *beams at you all* Oh! It'ssuperplin's birthday! Happy birthday!
