First 11 mile walk and $200 away from the min

Good afternoon!

On Friday August 27 I hosted my first training walk. Good news is I walked 11 miles bad news is I walked by myself. Unfortunately most people have to work on Fridays

I am $200 away from the minimum. Colette and I have our last big event scheduled for September 12. We are doing a card making class. I will post pictures after the event. We hope to raise a few hundred dollars.

10 miles and $2000!!!

Today I completed my second 10 mile walk. Last Friday was the first time I had walked 10 miles. Today was lonely because I wasn't walking with anyone.

I hope next Friday will be different because I am hosting my first training walk. It is 11 miles!

Thanks to everyone who has donated and Colleen and Marc for donating twice, I made it to $2000 today!!

I am an official training walk leader!

Today I attended a meeting to become a training walk leader. I decided to become a training walk leader for a few different reasons. My main reason was I know that I have to train for the 60 miles so I might as well meet some new people! On my training walks I hope to share inspiring stories, exchange training tips and brainstorm fundraising ideas. As part of being a training walk leader I am a safety monitor during the 3 Day!

34%

Thanks to everyone who has donated thus far. This past week I raised my first $1000!!!! I'm at 34% of my goal of $3000 and 44% of the minimum. Colette and I walked 5 miles on Friday!! This Tuesday I am going to a meeting to become a training walk leader which will mean I will be able to lead walks in my area!!! I also can't wait until June 12, that's the San Diego kickoff event.

Great week!!!

This week has been an awesome week for many reasons but there are two reasons that relate to my 3 day journey. The first is that I have fund-raised $820 as of today!! The second is that today Colette and I did our first "long" walk together. We have various places with have walked but today Colette said she wanted to walk near my house. She also said she was hungry. I asked her if she wanted to walk to our favorite lunch place. We did!!! It was a 6.5 mile walk round trip. Along with other walking today I have walked 8.21 miles. I know this is not even half of what I will be doing in one day but it's March. Colette and I will start the 3 day official training 24 weeks before our event so in June!!

First Susan G. Komen meeting
