My 19th 3-Day, 60-Mile Walk for the Cure was fabulous. Until that other C word entered the picture. No not cancer (the worst C word ever!) but COVID.

Mom and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. By Friday, I thought I had the start of a cold. When Mom started exhibiting symptoms on Sunday, I got suspicious. Two positive home COVID tests later, my suspicions were confirmed.

COVID – the master intruder.

The Other C Word Can’t Crush Us

Both Mom and I are on the mend. Fatigue is the biggest villain right now. But I refuse to allow that other C word to diminish the joy of completing another 3-Day Walk.

2022 3-Day Walk

What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, I was dealing with a body that was reminding me (quite loudly) just how many miles this Old Lady Walking had under her feet.

But this year, I feel great! I guess missing the 2020 3-Day Walk (not counting my virtual one) had more of an effect than I knew. One more thing to add to the long list of COVID annoyances.

3-Day Walk: The Video

Above is a brief video of some of the sights and sounds of this year’s Walk. It does not do the community, crew, and staff justice in how spectacular they all are in supporting crazy walkers like this Old Lady Walking.

Then there are my generous contributors. Without you, this would all be a dream. The reality is special. Thank you to all of you. And as you may suspect, I am already signed up for 2023. 🙂

Walk on.

Top that COVID! The other C word has nothing on us.
