Why I'm Walking

I am walking because...

• 480 people a day are diagnosed with breast cancer!
• 111 people a day die from breast cancer!
• Compared to that, walking 20 miles a day is NOTHING!

A great day!!!

What a great day..I received another donation!  I also walked 4 miles at Heritage Park and then spent time playing with Vivian.  It was a beautiful day to be outside and any day with Vivian is fun.

I have added two list to the right showing the people I am walking in memory or celebration of.  If you would like for me to walk in memory/celebration of your loved one, please let me know.  I would be honored to add them to the list.  

Training Week 1

Well my first week of training went very well.  I walked almost 16 miles this week which is huge for me.  I have been sitting on my behind a lot lately so it felt great to exercise.

We have set a date for our yard sale.  It will be March 6th.  Let me know if you have anything you want to donate.

So much bigger...

I sent fundraising emails out last Friday night and had received $740 in donations by Tuesday (from only 8 donors!!). I have been amazed by the generosity people have shown. I was sitting at work Wednesday when I got an email on my Blackberry. The subject said "A donation was made on your behalf." You can imagine that this is my favorite email to receive! I opened the email to see who had donated. It was a woman whose name I had never heard before and she donated $100. To me that is a huge donation...especially from a stranger. So I logged in to the website to send her a thank you and saw the message she had sent. It said that she had a cousin that is battling breast cancer and another cousin who died from it last Friday at the age of 47. Then she wrote life is too short...thank you so much for doing this. My eyes started filling with tears as I realized that this is so much bigger that I had thought. I'm not just doing this for my mom or myself or Vivian. I am doing this to make the world a better place for ALL WOMEN!

Our team, Brock 360 for the Cure, is planning a yard sale this spring.  Please let me know if you have any items that you would like to donate.  All proceeds from the yard sale will go to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.  Thanks for your support!!!

Training Day 1

It wasn't easy getting out of bed at 5 a.m. but it was worth it.  I got a great walk in and felt wonderful afterward! Plus, I got to see an amazing sunrise on my way back from the gym that I would have completely missed if I had slept in.  It is things like this that make me so thankful for all the blessings of life!

Training starts in the morning!

Well, I have my official training schedule all mapped out.  I will be starting in the morning.  I plan to walk on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and cross-train on Tuesday and Thursday.  And while I am very excited about the 3-Day, I have been a little slow getting started on the training.  I'm not looking forward to hitting the gym in the morning when it is 15 degrees outside but I keep telling myself that it is better than chemo!!!  So I plan to suck it up in the morning and be glad that I am healthy enough to be at the gym.

I got another donation yesterday and I have had numerous people telling me they will donate.  I truly appreciate everyone's support!
