I walked 20km!

I've never felt short in a picture before (I'm 5'8"!!)

What a great day for the walk. 700 people raised over $1 million for cancer research! I walked with Brenda, stayed pretty close with my teammates Izabela and Antoanela and Brenda's teammates Jan, Cindy, Esther and others. Had my 'sheepish fan club' including my sister and my boys at the beginning, a couple of checkpoints, and the last mile. Nancy and Lori on their bikes, Barb on her bike, Damien on his bike and so many others cheering us on.

I carried some names with me on my orange 'super hero' survivor scarf, people in my life who have fought cancer and people I met going through their cancer journey the same time as me:

Alli
Sara
Sharon
Penny
Marcella
Joe
Grampa
Gran
Isabel
Sue
Antonieta
Elizabeth
Tracie
Renee
Daria
Jill
Julie
John
Diane
Pam
Theresa
Angela

I'm Taking the Challenge!!

It's been 2 years since this mess started - finding out I had breast cancer - surgery, chemo, radiation. Now I'm back at work, life is busy, things are good. I'm not running, I still don't seem to have the energy to get that going consistently. I walk, I snowshoe, I go for the odd run, but I'm ready to do the 20K Walk to raise money for CancerCare on June 11th.
