Thanks, Paula. Pardon my boomer brain but do I have your mom’s & sister’s name to wear on the Walk? If not, email me and I will be sure to add them to honor their battle.

Take pictures of the pink nails. We’ll compare hues. 😉

I love your dedication to the 60 mile walk, Cathy. My poor aching feet would never last that long. I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was a kid, and my sister is a 16-year survivor (yay!) who also volunteers as a pier counselor for ABDC (After Breast Cancer Diagnosis). Yet no one in my family has ever done a 60-mile walk that I know of. You’ve got us beat!

Now that it’s October, I’m breaking out the pink nail polish…last year I bought several shades of pink so I could mix it up a bit.

In reply to Anne Wayman.

Thanks, Anne. And as my dad always said – everything’s relative. 😉 On my team, I have two other teammates who have walked I think the same number or perhaps one more. The one year they walked two but each of them also missed a walk (Penny because she got breast cancer 🙁 and Sue because her dad passed away 🙁 ).

But in the days when there were 13 Walks, would you believe there were walkers who walked all 13 – in one year?! I don’t know how they raised the money! Not to mention walking 60 miles times 13! 😉

Nice, Cathy and wonderful that you’ve continued this for so long… are you the one who’s walked the most often now?
