Let's try out a blog

So, for the last two years I've tried to keep up with a blog detailing my training walks, fundraisers, high points and tired points on the 3 day journey. And apparently, I just can't keep up with all my ideas. So here is yet another blog, that I'm going to try to keep up with.

We are about 18 weeks away from the walk. I have done perhaps 3 training walks. I'm planning on signing up for the 16 week training program. The 3 day site will email me weekly with the training I am SUPPOSED to keep up with. We all know, that I don't, but I do the best I can.

I am so excited that we have 2 more team members. In 2007 I signed up, and didn't know a soul who was walking, but walked with a team of 10 walkers and 2 crew. I had an amazing captain, and an even more amazing experience. I also left with friends I still keep in touch with today.

In 2008, my best friend decided she would take this journey with me since I made it through the 2007 walk. So together last year we formed our team "How the Breast Was Won." We had 2 walkers, and one crew member.

For the 2009 walk, we now have 5 walkers, Myself (me), Lauren (my BFF), Fawn (my good friend & babysitter), Denise (my lifelong neighbor) & Lisa (Denise's friend), and one crew, Marcella (my mommy). I also have a team of friends and family who have committed to helping me raise my $2300 goal. Cyndi, my fundraising chairperson (and HS BFF), Michelle (my dear neighbor), Heather (My SIL), Kimmie (another SIL), Debi (my old neighborhood buddy & friend), Amy (my HS friend who reconnected years ago), and Vicky (The other Vicky, who was one of my wonderful Antepartum nurses while I lived at the hospital for Aidan and Keeegan). Because of all of these friends and family, I am certain I will reach and surpass my goal. They also give super support all year long. I also have many many many friends and family who purchase fundraising products and make donations through out the year. Thanks to all of you, I wouldn't make it without all of the support.

My next post will have our current fundraising, and one day, when my foot is all better, I'll post about how our training is going.
