Susan G Komen - 3 Day for the Cure - WLS TEAM???
Hello Minnesota!!
I am registered for this 60 mile walk August 20-22, Twin Cities MN. I would love to find some other pre or post-op WLS friends to join me! Maybe we could make a team or at least support each other.
Training began last weekend and we did 4 miles - which just flew by since there were 50 people and lots of chatting going!
If you have done this walk and have advise, please post it! If you want to join me, please do!!
Cancer has touched my life in many ways -- and this surgery saved my own life so I want to do something to give back.
The official site with lots of information is here: http://The3Day.org
My personal blog about this journey is here: http://pinkmary60.blogspot.com
My donation page is http://the3day.org/goto/missmarymac if you want to help that way.
Thank you!

Where did you train last week? And is it there every week?
This sounds like a fun thing to do, someone else mentioned it to me too....
I would have never considered 60 miles before, but I think it sounds fun....

Hi Kelly!
Last week they held an official training kickoff and had a team from New BAlance there to measure and fit shoes first. There were about 60 people who showed up - quite a few men too. We just walked the mall - it was at Har-Mar (which is no where near me).
Once you register you have access to a whole list of people willing to share and you can find teams or traing walks near your zip code.
There is also a list of getting started events to learn all about the whole thing - thats where I realized I could this. Tons of info on the main site at http://the3day.org -- please le me know if you ahead. I think it would pretty cool to form a wls team because without that piece, there is no way I could have gotten my ass off the couch for something like this!

Hi Mary,
I am walking in The 3 Day for the third time! It is one of the most difficult, but wonderfully rewarding things I've ever done! You will LOVE it! My mother-in-law has always walked with me, but this year decided to work on the crew instead of walk. I haven't decided if I will join a team yet or not.
Let me know if you have any questions about the walk - I'd be happy to share my experience. My email address if [email protected]
