Mid Summer's Stroll and Campout
Several people have commented that doing a 60 km walk this summer is risky. They feel that my body needs time to recover from all it has been through, and that doing something this hard is not going to help. It made me think, but I don't agree.
The weekend to end breast cancer will be hard but it is my Mt. Everest. It marks the one year point of having this disease and we've all been through a lot. By focusing on this challenge I'm doing one more thing to take my life back. I expect it to be hard work, but with a lot of people helping me wherever they can. Your $ support has amazed me, and allowed me to get to the starting line. I'm training regularly so I can enjoy the accomplishment.

You go girl! With how dedicated you are to training and how hard you work out on a regular basis, this walk will be a piece of cake for you! Well, not really, 60 km in two days is still a darn long way, but I know you (& Karen) will be able to do it. Now, I did look at the pix from the BC walk, and I just wondered what you and Karen are wearing? I hope something outrageous and fun -- why not? I know the walk will be draining, but I'm also sure it will be a great accomplishment and a cherished memory that you will always have.
Take care -- thinking of you, Rebecca
