Hello all!
It's been a while since I have been able to post! Just wanted to share with you that I attended the Get Started Meeting last night in Chagrin Falls. The meeting was very informative and gave many details on the event. I think once we make it to the starting line, we will have a blast!! The most eye opening part of the evening for me was that there was a girl about my age (38) maybe a little younger that was sitting in front of me....when the meeting leader asked if there were any survivors in the room, this girl raised her hand! I was absolutely blown away by how young she was!! I had hit a slump in my training, fell off my treadmill the other night (graceful, I am not!!) and am dealing with some pretty nasty blisters....but to see this girl and know what she went through has steeled my resolve to keep going!! We are truly doing a good thing!
I also had the honor of sitting next to the woman who raised the most money last year. I think she raised $23,000.00 herself! Her goal this year is $25,000.00!! Her advice....ask everyone and ask big!! 60 miles is a huge deal and you have the right to ask!!
Stay strong, train hard and have fun!!
FOR OUR DAUGHTERS...
Support us as we walk 60 miles over 3 days with survivors and supporters around the Cleveland area to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
