In November, Kerry is heading to San Diego with her BFF to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure event. This isn't a simple little trip. Essentially, they will head out and walk 20 miles, camp out, pack up, walk another 20 miles, camp out, pack up and walk the remaining 20 miles in what can only be called a 3-day endurance test. So, she's in training. I mean, it isn't often that anyone walks for 20 miles continuously or does so 3 days in a row.
Yes, training will be difficult but also difficult will be fund-raising. Neither of us have really ever done that before either. They have set a minimum of $2,300 in donations as her goal before she participates which means we have until September-ish to work on it. I try not to use the web sites or my other ventures as a platform for asking for things... I am bad at that but, during the next few months, I will be trying to keep you up-to-date on Kerry's training progress and post a little link up. We also hope to hold a few fund-raising events as well.
Right after signing up, a friend of hers told her that her other friend had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Cancer, itself, is scary but when it hits home, it hits hardest. Men also get breast cancer. One of the sad things about the disease is how it can destroy a woman's self-esteem. Anyone who knows me, knows that I think breasts are one of the most amazing inventions and I can stare at them for hours. Let's go save some boobies!
It might be good to mention now that unfortunately, donations from outside the United States are unable to be processed but we would like to thank you for even considering it.
