A long road

Jan 21, 2009

Well, I've made a committment to walk in the AVON Breast Cancer walk.  This is a 2 day event that is held in Washington, DC on May 2-3.  What does that mean?
Personally it means to me, that I can give to those in need.  I am proud to be a cancer survivor and I know what it means to be told that you have cancer and how it devistates your life so much that you can't breathe.  Now that I am healthier, I can make a commitment to help others with their health issues (do you know how good it feels to say that?)
Health wise it means a lot of training between now and May.  I started about 2 weeks ago and I'm up to 4 miles a night (that's a long way from 26).  I feel good working out and I hope it facilitates my weight loss again.
Financially it means that I really have to raise the $1800 required for me to participate in the event.  It would be devistating if I trained for the next 12 weeks and then didn't have the funds raised to participate.  I certainly don't have the means to do it all myself.  It's a great cause and I appreciate all that will help me in it.  I'm trying to find creative ways to solicit money as I know these are difficult times.
This is a long road, but it is getting shorter to meet my goal!!!  Finally!
