The reason I am walking 60 miles

A couple years ago I saw an advertisement for the 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk, but did nothing about it. This is a 60 miles walk in 3 Days held here in Seattle and other cities throughout the US. All proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to aid in prevention, education and research of breast cancer. This year's walk will be held September 11-13.

I decided in November 2008 that this would be the year I would walk. Most of the people I know have been touched by some form of cancer. I know I have. I want to make a BIG statement of support in the fight against and education about cancer. I want to be part of something that is powerful and positive. I want to be part of something that is much bigger than myself or my group of friends.
