Happy Pink Saturday....here's my pink that I am proud to show off

I have been meaning to post this and yet kept forgetting, well since it's Pink Saturday I thought well what a great way to show you. A few years ago my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in which she was treated and is now a survivor (praise God), but watching her go through it, taking her to every appointment, watching her skin become burned from the radiation hurt my heart. I thought what more can I do show my love, support and prayers for all victims who have gone through this stupid, nasty disease. When I saw the commercial for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk my heart leaped and I knew I wanted to be part of this. So I signed up in March of 2010 with the leap of faith that I would raise the $1800.00 dollars needed to participate and in 2 1/2 months I was well over my mark (again praise God). So here is my pink from the walk, one of the pink's that I am most proud of, between walking 39.3 miles in 2 days and the grossest blisters I have ever seen in my life, and some injuries that I am still dealing with I am so thankful for the experience of the Cancer Walk.

The Beginning of my walk Day 1..26.2 miles

When I arrived for the start, met up with some new friends

The last mile before the end of the 1st day

Tending to some crazy blisters and feet injuries

Day 2...funny guard to make us laugh and not think of the 12.2 ahead of us.

The finish line of the 39.3 miles in two days...I swear I think God carried me through that line.

So happy I made it. Thank you to all that supported my walk.


I hope you all enjoyed a little glimpse into my adventure.
