Asking for money is not a easy thing to do, especially in a time that just seems to be hurting everyone. Twenty-three Hundred dollars seem like alot of money to raise for one person, and I have to confess, it is. All I know is I want to do my part. The only person that connects me to Breast Cancer is Suzy and she passed away with Heart Disease. So why do I bother to give my energy to a cause that hasn’t hit me personally? Well, my main objective besides honoring Suzy, is that I continue to never have to experience losing anyone to such a disease, let’s just say I am trying to be proactive. If it ever does, I pray to God we have a cure.
After the walk on Saturday, again at Castle Island, I stared at my ring less puffy fingers and stiff feet. I’ve learned that I need more electrolytes and must juggle some Gatorade or Sports Drinks or eat anything that is salty. Its great to be alive and its even more amazing that I, along with these wonderful Bosom Buddies that we are healthy to do this walk, sure enough I can handle some swelling.
If you are blessed to be in a position to be generous, we appreciate your donations. I am sure you are bombarded with millions of request for donating to a gazillion organizations out there and you are thinking not one more. As your friend, your family, your co-worker, your neighbor, and your community, we are asking you to remember the one more person that may extend someones life, or that one more research testing that will lead to the cure of this disease. We can never stop saying thank you for all of you who have supported us in this journey, thank you for thinking about that ONE MORE person.
Here is a clip from Castle Island, hoping to give you some incentive to donate. Although, I love Gerry and Joanie, they failed miserably answering the question which I struggled to ask.
Believe it or not we did actually manage to walk nine miles considering these gals manage to have time for a Swing Break!
After six miles, we could not really make out which way to go for that extra three miles…but as you can see we figured it out.
So it was another fulfilling walk at Castle Island, thanks ladies for all the gabbing and chuckling! And thanks Teresa for getting Florida to give us some sun, hope that swimming with the Dolphins was worth missing us. Don’t worry I was not a tad jealous, I just gotta get better at swimming so I can go too.
Today, Joanie and I went to Bentley University for the Breast Cancer Expo, very informative. But the words that stuck in my brain was “DRINK AND PEE AND NO IV!” We’ll send you more details in how we can survive the 60 mile walk. We’re in this together. We met some interesting characters, we saw the Pink Soldier and Bob the Irish Viking.

Irish Viking?
Joanie, teaches us how to chill before an expo and tan simultaneously.
Captain Sailah!
Sorry, but I can’t help but be drawn to flowers. You gotta make time to smell the flowers, so I am just helping you.
Ok back to why we were here…the Expo!
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
OK gals, Remember to stay STRONG and COURAGEOUS! See you on our next training walk.
Love you all! Peace Out.
