The Breast Cancer 3 Day

I will be walking in the breast cancer 3 day this year for the first time. This is a BIG step for me and I am more than ready for the challenge. The 3 day is an amazing statement to end breast cancer for everyone. I will be walking 60 miles in three days to put an end to this dreaded disease. Breast cancer affects me personally because I lost my Grandmother to breast cancer in 1989.
She was taken from my family way too soon! The 3day takes place in August, which will be the 20th anniversary of her passing. What an honor to do this in her memory.

Every monetary donation made will help try and find a cure for this disease. I want a cure to be found so my children will not have to worry about it. You can click on the widget to go directly to my personal page and make your donation today. I emailed 86 people. If those 86 people donated $24 I will reach my goal!!! I am counting on my family and friends to help me reach AND PASS this goal.

Thank you so much!

In other news, the 1/2 marathon is 10 days away! OMG!!! I am excited, yet nervous. When I'm walking, I will be thinking of the 3day and my grandmother and my friend, Linda Mathis. Say a prayer for me!!!

Well, that's it for now. Have a great weekend!

One month away!

The 1/2 marathon is one month away and I'm getting nervous! 13miles is along walk and I'm not quite there yet. The farthest I've walked at once is 5 miles and that wore me out! I'm going to walk again on Saturday for as long as I can. I'm going to give it all I got and just pray I cross the finish line in one piece!

I'm also inspired to walk in the breast cancer 3day in august. I will be walking in memory of my dear, sweet grandmother who passed away from breast cancer in August of 1989. As I type this I just realized it will be 20 years that she has been in heaven. What I tribute I could give her! I am also walking in honor of Linda Mathis, a survivor. So, soon everyone I know will be getting a personal letter from me for their support. I have to raise $2,300.00 on my own before I can participate in the walk. I know God will bless me in this endeavour.

I am still without a computer. I'm hoping to get one by the end of the month. It's hard to do everything on my iPod. Starting this weekend, Marvin and I will be doing the financial peace university coarse by Dave Ramsey to get out of debt. I am really excited to get going on this. We have already started and we are blessed how God is guiding us! With His help we can do this!

Well, that's all for now. Enjoy the weekend!!
