Old Lady Walking: The 9th Sequel

by | Jun 14, 2012 | 3-Day 60-Mile Walk | 2 comments

 

Not since Rocky Balboa has one seen so many sequels. This one is called Old Lady Walking.

That’s right – it’s that time of year again – preparing for the 3-Day Walk for the Cure.

  • It will be my 9th 3-Day Walk of 60 Miles
  • Once more, it takes place in November
  • It’s in San Diego, my beloved former home

And, I’m back with my Fight Like A Girl team.

Temporary Tattoo

This blog, my business blog, and my health care blog are all sporting a new temporary tattoo.

It’s a picture of some of my teammates and me that links to my 3-Day Personal Page. There you are welcomed to donate to keep this old lady walking.

  • The good news is the amount we need to raise stayed the same
  • The bad news is it’s $2,300
  • A new twist this year is the whole amount must be raised by the Walk

If not – you cannot participate.

They used to give us a month after the event to finish up fundraising, but not anymore.

So, I am appreciative of anything you can do to help.

Let’s Get Serious

You know I mean business when I stop drinking my wine.

June 1st marked my official wine stoppage until the Walk. I don’t even give up wine for Lent.

But, it’s the least I can do in honor of all the women and men who have been affected by cancer.

  • I walk for my sister, Terry, a 10+ year breast cancer survivor
  • I walk for my Aunt Mitzi who lost her battle with lung cancer
  • I walk for and with my 3 teammates who are breast cancer survivors

And I walk for all those affected by cancer.

The recent announcement of Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts’ latest battle only brings more resolve to once more walk 60 miles in 3 days.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress. In the meantime, thank you to all my supporters and contributors. You rock!

      But, of course, Anne. It’s one of the many perks of my participation. 🙂 I’ll keep you posted as we get closer to the event.

      Thank you, Anne!
