November 4-6 I'll be joining my team, Breast Friends, on an amazing walk that helps get one step closer to the end of breast cancer. This year we will be walking in Dallas, Texas. We try to choose different locations because our team is spread out around the states. Last year was my first walk and it was a memorable weekend. I walked with both my sisters, my mom and a few others from Iowa and Arizona. I'm glad I was able to share my first walk with my mom and sisters. We are hoping that it works out that we can walk every year until we can't anymore!
About the walk: The 3-day 60 mile walk is held in 14 different major metropolitan cities across the country between July and November. The goal is to not only raise as much money as we can, but to also raise awareness in each of the cities/states. Having a few thousand people walk all around the streets of these cities decked out in pink raises awareness and will hopefully get more people on board our mission. Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure is named one of the two most trusted non-profit organizations and in 2010 they gave $59 million for research grants to 65 institutions.
