Today, Easter Sunday is a day full of mixed emotions for me. I have always been grateful for everything that I have and I try to always remain positive. I am trying to get my training in but it is very difficult for me to get moving. I know that it is something that I need to do because I will walk the entire 60k no matter what. Last week a family friend passed away from cancer and it brought it a little closer to home! Today someone that I am VERY close to has been told that the cancer is back and there is no treatment available this time. Am I crazy to not believe that? I know what reality is but I WILL NOT give up hope until she draws her last breath and I will rally around her with a positive and upbeat outlook until that time. Today I am more determined than ever to raise the most money, the most awareness and to complete this walk. Although her cancer is not breast I believe that any breakthrough for any cancer will be a breakthrough for all.

Here I was wondering if could do it? How will I be able to raise $2,000?? It seemed so big...1 month later I am listening to the radio and I hear them talking about the weekend and I join. 40 mins after I send out my request ...$1,000.00?? No one was more surprised than me! Today...here I am the captain of my own TEAM!!!! What the heck is going on?? Not that it's a bad thing mind you...I am VERY EXCITED and privileged to be the captain of such a great time but it just all happened so fast! It is wonderful. To think that just by our efforts we may be able to save a life! I heard the other day someone say that it is more than a walk once you get involved it becomes a purpose....I am believing that with all my heart! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and thank you for following my journey! And to think this all started on a wing and a prayer....

I've been having very mixed emotions about this walk. I've been doing lots of prep work and looking into some fitness class as well. I have to tell you that I have been very excited about the process but I was a little nervous about being able to collect the $2,000.00 seemed like a lot of money to me. Tonight I decided that I've navigated around enough on here and I've figured out how to send some e-mails for fundraising. I sent them out tonight at 7:28pm, by 8:00pm I already had $1,000.00!!! Holy Cow...you could have blown me over with a feather. Now I am really pumped!!! This is going to ge awsome!!!
Hugs and Kisses

I have always thought about joining The Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk. I wanted to be a part of something bigger than me and positive that would help many people. I've never followed through because the thought of 60k and $2,000 seemed like too much for me your average person who doesn't exercise. Last year 2 members of my family had cancer and we had the opportunity to experience the wonderful staff and miracle treatments at Princess Margaret. From that time I wanted to be a part of that. I have wanted to get in shape as well so I decided that my commitment to a team and to this walk would force me to commit to both. As I see it, it's a win win. So I jumped in with both feet. I joined Lea from Country 953 and put into practice "The Secret" just believe and focus and all will come to you! Here I am a member and setting up my personal page and SO excited to just have joined.
Keep your fingers crossed and wish me will. Follow my journey and I'll keep you posted on all my steps. If I can inspire just one person to join me next year than that would be wonderful. (Did you hear that!!!? ME talking about next year!)
Stay tuned and watch how I get through on a wing and a prayer!
