60 Miles in 3 Days
One of my college roommates, Courtney, sent me several e-mails last year over the course of my chemo treatments. In one of them she planted a seed that has since taken root and begun to grow. She asked if I was interested in walking in the Breast Cancer 3-Day this year. I said yes, and we have decided to move forward with that plan.
This past Saturday I attended a Get Started meeting and registered for the Chicago walk which takes place August 8-10, 2008. The walk covers 60 miles in 3 days and the money raised goes to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust. I also signed up to be a team captain and so far Courtney, my sister Molly, and my friends Cheryl and Alison have agreed to be my teammates.
In the next few weeks I’ll be posting more information about the walk here, and I’ll be contacting many of you soon begging asking you to sponsor me in the walk. (Consider this fair warning!) I’d also like any of you who are interested to let me know if you would like to walk with us.
But today I need your help coming up with a name for the team! If you have a moment, take a look at the choices listed below and let me know what you think.

LOL! I think "Freshly Squeezed" works best for you for this year. You can count on my support. Just point me there.

Honey, I'm so proud of you - you know you won't have to beg me for sponsorship

oh my gosh I voted for the chest nuts but was somehow surprised to see it as the leader! I think this is a hilarious name! Please post an address or email me for a donation when the time comes. You look great in your pictures.

I'm all about funding medical research...because we know that it's so important.
Keep us updated as to how we can help!
