    Red face I did it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well ladies as some of you know I was going to be doing the 3 day 60 mile walk for breast cancer the last weekend in October. Well I walked all 60 miles. What a walk. we had 1,568 walkers and we all raised 3.8 million dollars. Only had one blister on a toe, pulled shin splints on right leg and the rest of me was so tired and sore. But it was well worth it. This was my 7th year doing it and have already signed up for 2012.

    Sheila_H and loopywren I hope both of your daughters are doing well. I am a 7 year survivor and have many friends that are survivors plus I just lost my very best friend to breast cancer. I walk every year with all the names that I hear of on a list in my linyar so I will start a new list for next years walk. Tell your girls I walk for them and for others. Big Hugs to them

    Thank you Oralee I truly appreciate you doing that for them, breast cancer took both grandmothers from us so I've always stressed the importance to the girls to really check themselves well. Huge thank you to all that do the walk on behalf of others its truly appreciated!
