Avon 2 Day Walk for Breast Cancer!

Hello fellow OHers... Just visiting from the California boards... I came to invite you guys to join in on the Avon 2 day walk for breast cancer in Denver. It is June 24-25 THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION - I'm not selling anything!! I am inviting you guys to join me - I did the walk last year in LA...and this year, I am doing the walk in all 8 cities. For those of you not familiar - it is a 2 day walk - a marathon and a half (saturday=26.2, sunday, 13.1)... Two years ago, i was severely MO. I am still overweight...but doing this walk, the training, etc. changed my life. I am part of a team - and we have walkers registered in all 8 cities - - but can always use more!! Our corporate sponsor will help you with meeting your fundraising goal (they will kick in more than half of the $$)...I am part of the Starbucks Friends team! The Denver event is JUNE 24-25. If you want more info about the walk and my team (we raised over $110,000 last year alone!)...go to www.avonminiwalk.org or you can email me at [email protected] I am an active member on the Cali boards, you can even check me out - my name is Keri (also known as Koo Koo Keri on that board ). It is an unbelievable event and a cause that affects SO many of us. Did you know that a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer EVERY 3 MINUTES. This walk is a great way, also, to kick in and get in some exercise. I joined in on the walk last March. (LA walk is in September) And prior to that, even though I was 9 months post-op, I still hadn't done a stitch of exercise. I know, bad bad...but, I got myself moving. At first, i could BARELY do the first training walk - which was 3 only 3 miles! Now? Now I am doing the 39.3 mile walk in ALL 8 cities. I also ran in my first marathon (yes, marathon!) in December, my first half marathon in February...and am gearing up to do the LA marathon next month. Don't worry, I won't try to recruit you to run a marathon (though I know you all can!). We already have many contacts in the Charlotte area to get you going with fundraising and training!! But one step at a time...it truly is ONE STEP AT A TIME. BTW, you don't need to commit to walk all 39.3 miles. You can walk 13.1 miles, you can walk 1 mile...or anything in between!! Please, think about it - AND DONT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DO IT - BECAUSE TRUST ME - - IF I CAN DO IT - ANYONE CAN!! email me or post back here....i can help you!! xoxo to all of us, ~Keri
