I walk
* because every two minutes another woman or man is diagnosed with breast cancer.
* because my mom is a 12 year cancer survivor.
* because my sweet friend Arthanise is a 2 time cancer survivor.
* because Laurie, a young wife, is a 2 year survivor.
* because people need to know that breast cancer affects thousands each year.
* because I can.
* because I don't want my daughter to ever have to hear the words, "I'm sorry but you have
cancer."
* because of women like Sharon, a perfect stranger, who has just finished treatment and who
supported me.
* because I want to make a difference in the lives of others.
* because I don't want my husband to ever have to walk the breast cancer road.
* because thousands of others walk and need to know they are not alone.
* because there is a man walking 600 miles for his wife, a cancer survivor.
* to honor those who have lost their battle.
* to support those who are in the midst of treatment.
* to encourage those who will in the days and months ahead receive a terrible diagnosis.
* BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES A LIFETIME!

Whoohooo you are back and survived to share your journey. Congrats on making the 60 miracle miles. Because of you and all the donations and all the volunteers, more money is now in the hands of specialists and scientists and all those really smart people who have dedicated their life and career to finding a cure. Thank you!
