Hi everyone,
My sisters and I just did our first breast cancer walk yesterday. What a fantastic time!! To know we were helping all women who can not afford to be tested and treated,and to know we are helping to put a stop to this terrible disease.(I was in tears alot).We will be doing our next one in OCT. The best was the 83 YR. old women who walked and has been a survivor for 10 yrs.It was just the greatest!!
Take Care

    Congratulations on the walk!
    Congratulations on the walk! I had always wanted to do this and last year I participated for the first time. I loved being a part of it. This year as a survivor I started my own team and have 15 people! So far we have raised $1180! My walk is Oct.11.

    Good for you!
    My son just called to tell me that he and his girlfriend just finished a walk in Ohio. He was very proud of himself and so was I. Their team raised $3,400.
