Here's the web site www.the3day.org
I want to do this as a team...so I'm going to start asking everyone either to join me or donate. I know that sounds pushy, but I'm pushy about some causes..this is one of them. They'll be walking here in D.C. in OCT 3rd-5th. Not only will the training be a great way to get back in shape, but who knows, I might be saving my own life someday. Just about every female on my father's side has had either one or both breasts removed. I also have cancer on mom's side. Ive had my own cancer scare and because I'm at such a high risk, I always have that tiny fear in the back of my mind. I have friends that have had or have family members that have had breast cancer. I just recvd the brochure and was blown away by the thought that I had to do this.
I know the fundraising seems daunting, but I think I can do it. Go to the web site and look at all they provide for the walkers. Plus, honestly, it looks like fun! 3 days with my "girls" so to speak (and whatever guy friends decide to join up :)
Who's with me?!
I have other friends walking in this too. I am planning to donate, but I'm gonna pass on the walking.
ReplyDeleteI would love to walk. Let me check the website and I'll let you know for sure. I've walked the Relay for Life 24 hour walk every year (minus one) for the last 8 years in OH. The girls have even walked with me the last few years (it's usually Mother's Day weekend). Anyway, I love to do this stuff, it's a great challenge for yourself for a fantastic cause.
ReplyDeleteHave you gotten any info. on this? You have to earn $1,800.00 to participate -for yourself, not your team! I think it's a fantastic cause, but don't think I have the time to put into it this year. The flyer has the option of being part of the volunteer team. It's not walking, it's cleaning, organizing, etc. May be an option?
ReplyDeleteYa, I have alot of people already walking so finding support has been tough. I looked in to being a volunteer. You still have to contribute (or at least one set of volunteers, but it wasnt as much.) I want to be involved...just didnt want to do all that fundraising and then still not walk because it wasnt enough. Did they change it, I thought it was 2000.00
