"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.
