3 Days of Wonderful!




(the sign I wore on my backpack all weekend)

 I don't know if there is any way to put into words what happened over 3 days this past weekend, I don't think there is any way to give this experience justice - unless you were there living and breathing it!  Here are a few photos from the weekend...that speak volumes.  As soon as I have more energy I will tell some of the many AMAZING stories that came out of a weekend with 16 team members, an excellent support crew, 2000 fellow walkers and 400 crew members.  We did something pretty special this last weekend...to the tune of $5.3 Million Dollars.  Now THAT is a weekend well spent!

From this Survivor to all those out there that walk, crew and donate to the Susan G. Komen 3 Day all over the nation...I am forever indebted to you all for the determination, courage and sacrifices you make and have made to fight to keep me alive.  I detected my cancer early because of information I learned after walking my first 3 Day walk in 2006.  I received screening and innovative new testing because of a grant from Susan G. Komen to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.  The drugs I take each week are around because of research that Susan G. Komen for the Cure helps fund.  It is no exaggeration to say that what you do will ultimately SAVE MY LIFE and the lives of thousands of other women.  So when you raise your shoe to salute the survivors...I hope you know that we are the ones who are indebted to you - that we will never be able to begin to thank you for what you have given us.  The best we can do is walk along side of you and keep on fighting!  I walk because EVERYONE DESERVES A LIFETIME!
