I am walking in honour of one of my closest friends. She is a suvivor - and she is one of the most amazing women I know. I do this walk so women will not have to face what she went through. Here's to you Margaret - you are my inspiration for this walk.
I AM REQUIRED TO RAISE AT LEAST $1,800 TO EARN MY 39, BUT I PLAN TO RAISE MUCH, MUCH MORE! I HOPE THAT I CAN COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT!
You can make a donation right here on my webpage by clicking the "Donate Now" button to the right. If you prefer to write a check, click the "Donate By Mail" button and follow the instructions on the form.
Your donations will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. The dollars you pledge will put food on the table of a breast cancer patient and her family. They will enable access to mammograms and medicine, fuel research, and save lives. NEED ANY MORE REASON TO CLICK THAT DONATE NOW BUTTON?
I'm walking with thousands of other 39ers. We're banding together in solidarity and have one goal: to take breast cancer down. So many sisters and mothers and friends have been lost. We see a world without breast cancer for our daughters and nieces. AVON 39 is a force of change that can't be stopped. By supporting me with a donation, you're part of it.

Week 2 - 3
Well - at the end of the first week I could barely walk :-) - but I am proud to say I completed my 12 miles this weekend and not feeling so bad after my recovery walk this morning. I guess my body is getting used to it.
Now to up the ante :-)

First check-in
Started my training this week. Looking for some suggestions for longer walks for the weekends. Walking around Philips campus during the week. Right now averaging 17.5 minute miles. Got to get this down to about 15-16 Miles a minute. At least I should be healthy after this :-)
Thanks also to everyone who has donated - you have helped me reach my goal so I can definitely walk - and now it is about raising as much as possible for all the people touched by this terrible disease.
