If you would have told me in 2003 that I would still be walking 60 miles in 3 days, I would have laughed at your silliness.
All I wanted to accomplish that first year was making it through all 60 miles.
- And indeed, I did
- Little did I know what was in store
- I simply cannot walk away
So, my Fight Like A Girl team celebrates its 10th anniversary, right along with the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure.
Team Blessing
Hands down, the biggest blessing for me has been the addition to my life of all my wonderful Fight Like A Girl teammates.
Over the years, some have walked once, others have walked multiple years, and Penny and Sue have walked every year PLUS more than one in a year.
Unbelievable.
I missed only 2009 when my mom was having foot surgery.
I like to say that these ladies walked into my heart and took up permanent residence.

Sharing a Promise
The 3-Day Walk started with a promise between sisters.
I share that promise with my own sister, Terry, a 12+ years breast cancer survivor. And how fitting is it that Terry arrived here last night for a family reunion? The same year that marks our Fight Like A Girl 10-year anniversary.
I also share the promise with my three teammates who are breast cancer survivors and all survivors of cancer and the loved ones who support them.
Ten-Fold Thanks
So, once again I start on my 60-mile journey.
I am eternally grateful to those who contribute to keep this old lady walking. Many of you have been there for multiple years, and some every year – even when financial times were so tough.
I share the promise with you and thank you for your generous support.
We need to raise $2,300 to participate in the 3-Day Walk. So far, my generous contributors have donated $955. Thank you!
