Calling Arizona Friends and Family,
It is once again time for the 3 Day Walk here in Arizona supporting breast cancer research and programs through the Susan G Komen Foundation. I did this walk for the past two years. The walk entails walking 60 miles over three days. We walked 20 or so miles each day and slept in a big camp the two nights in between. Doing this walk and supporting this cause has been a wonderful experience for me and I feel blessed to have been able to do it two years in a row.
Last year, a coworker, Michele who had breast cancer, did this walk also. Even though she was affected by breast cancer, as long as she could get out there and walk, she wanted to do so for her children so they have a better chance of avoiding this horrible cancer. Michele died five weeks after the walk. I blogged about it last year here.
So for this year, I am not walking because of our adoption and having a new toddler at home but I am still supporting my team. Last year we did an awesome casino night fundraiser and brought in over $17,000 for breast cancer research.
I will be participating in Casino Night again this year on October 4. This event is HUGE and is so much fun! I would love to have any of my friends and family that would love to support this cause and have a phenomenal night out to contact me for more details- anyone is welcome.
If you can't come but would like to donate, here is the link to my 3 Day Team. Please donate to Marcy Fredette Roman or Kimberly Mularski or any of the women who still have not met their goal. If you have ever considered doing the 3 Day Walk, DO IT! It is s fabulous experience. You can always contact me and I can fill you in on it and answer questions..
Thanks-
Jennine
