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
Congratulations Beth. That was quite the achievement! It is an honor to be on your list ,thank you for doing that. Quite a few of the names I recognize and some of them have become good friends. When I saw Daria's name it made me a bit emotional as she was there for so many people. I may get to meet Sue as I will be in England for a few days at the end of the month and if possible we want to try and get together.
