Trekkin' For Titties...

Now that I have your attention!

For the past few years, I have considered walking the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. The 3-Day is a 60 mile, life-changing journey to support the fight against breast cancer. This year, I have said yes to that challenge and on November 11 I will begin my walk in Phoenix, Arizona.

My team, Trekkin' for Titties, will walk 60 miles over the course of 3 days. If you've followed my blog, you know I'm very active and it would seem that 60 miles would not be a challenge. I beg to differ. My body is used to biking, swimming, and running. Walking uses entirely different muscles. Whenever my mom comes to visit and I walk with her, I always end up sore for days in places I didn't know I had (shins, side of shins, ankles, etc). My mom walks 5 miles a day. I don't. This will definitely take conditioning and training on my part. My team plans to undergo a 6 month training program in preparation for this event.

I will walk for those I know who have had breast cancer. They are survivors. They are the lucky ones. I will walk for your family and friends who have battled cancer as well. Cancer affects each and every one of us. It's time we find a cure.

I have set my fundraising goal at $3400. $100 for every year of my life that I've been alive and healthy. I challenge you to donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation on my behalf and support me in my journey. I challenge you to give $1 for every year of your life. $1 for every year of your child's life. $1 for every year of your spouse's life. Give as much or as little as you can and are called to give. Times are tough. Every dollar gets me one step closer to the goal. Don't shy away because you think your donation is not worth enough. Your donation is tax deductible.

Thank you for your financial support. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I look forward to this journey. I look forward to meeting some amazing people and walking beside them in November. I hope that my step-daughter and my niece never have to worry about breast cancer in their lifetimes. Let's end this disease. Now.
