It's not just a cause, it's family

"It's not just a cause, it's family."  My dad said this to me just a few days ago after he and my mom made an amazing donation to our walk.  My eyes started to well up with tears upon hearing that.  I cannot think of a better way to sum up all the reasons that I chose to walk.  This just isn't a cause that you donate money to and forget about it.  It is a cause with a face.  The face of mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, wives, and even husbands, fathers, brothers, grandfathers, and uncles.


When I think about the 3-Day, I think about my family.  I think about Beth, Charlie, Andrew, Ben and Chris.  I think about my parents and my brother.  I think about my future children and how this could possibly affect them.  I hope that one day we can live in a world without cancer.  Until then, I'll walk to help end it.




On a side note, we start our training on Tuesday.  We probably would have gotten a jump start on it this weekend, but it's just a little too cold to bundle up and get the coats on the dogs to go for a 3 mile walk.  While my little ladies love going for long walks, it's just a little too cold for them right now.  So we'll officially start on Tuesday.  Only 24 weeks left!  24 weeks to train and 24 weeks to raise $5100!  Please visit our page to donate.
