We walk because we must. We are strong because the journey demands it. Together in body and united in spirit, we lay down our footsteps for this generation and the next. This is our promise: a world without breast cancer.

Fundraising for the Komen 3 Day Walk
This year, I'll be participating in a very special event called the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with my friend Dacca, also a survivor. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day for the Cure are invested in breast cancer research and community programs.
I've agreed to raise $2,300 in donations, so I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of $25? If 100 people donate $25 I will exceed my goal! Keep in mind how far I'm walking and how hard I'll have to train. You can give online at http://www.the3day.org/ or follow the link on my blog to visit my fundraising page and make a donation. You can also call 800-996-3DAY to donate over the phone.
I was diagnosed with invasive stage 2 breast cancer at the age of 41. I went through four founds of chemo and had double mastectomies. I am now in remission and consider myself a survivor. It has been fifteen months since my last chemo. Many of your supported me when I was going through my battle. Thank you! Every day I hope and pray the cancer is gone forever.
Everyone knows someone affected by breast cancer. I don't want one more person to hear the words "you have cancer". One person is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes in the United States and breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. I hate cancer. That's why I'm walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer.
I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Third Time is a Charm
My expander surgery has been re-scheduled for the third and final time. It will be on March 19th at 9:15 at Swedish Hospital. I moved the date so that my mom can help out with the kids while she's on Spring Break. It was also very important to me to attend the YSC conference, so I will be going afterall.
