Breast Cancer 3-day

A couple of years ago Linda, Gary's boss when we were first married, joined the 3 day walk for breast cancer research. When she came home, she said it was one of the most amazing experiences. I have thought about it off and on for a few years now and I think this fall may be the time to join in. It's kind of a big commitment though. I would really like to do it with Gary but that just doubled the amount of money we would need to raise along with the number of airline tickets we would need to buy to get us there. Each person must raise a minimum of $2200 to walk the 60 miles in three days as well as pay a $90 registration fee. It's all a bit steep but I think we could pull it off if we started now. If anyone has too many sky miles building up in your delta account, feel free to donate some to us! I'll be sending out letters asking for support after we officially register. I hope we can do it. It is for a great cause and every little bit helps. Gary isn't sure I could handle 60 miles in 3 days which, for those of you who know me, just makes me that much more determined to do it. I'll keep you all posted with the progress and let you know as soon as we register. Let me know if you think we can pull it off!
