Check These Out – My Awesome MFP Support!

At this time next week I will be at about mile 5-6 in my 3 Day 60 mile challenge to try and end breast cancer – This will be my 2nd year in a row taking on this walk – this year is a little different, Im walking with a different team and my mind will be on my Aunt/My Friend who are all taking on their own battles with a different type of cancer – BUT knowing that I helped raise $$ that will in the long run benefit all cancer research will help me trudge on!

This year is also different in the AMAZING support I received from my MFP friends and friends of friends BUT I cannot take all the credit – My Real Life Best friend _SusieQ_ helped pimp out my shirts (Have you seen the Check THESE out shirts?) I designed these and I got a plethora of shirt orders and some new awesome friends added to my friend list!!

Just from MFP alone I raised over $600 for my walk - On average during training a 3Day walker walks 585 miles – this represents more than $1 for every mile I have walked and more importantly this money will be helped to provide mammograms that could be life-saving, it will help to provide the cost of transportation to a treatment session for a patient – and my amazing friends here helped me do this – so I want to give a big high five, virtual hug and THANK YOU so much to:

    First of all my sweet friend, I love you more than words can say. Second, I'm so proud of you. The walk, raising money, bringing awareness. It's such an awesome thing!

    And I second the thanks for all those MFPeeps that bought a shirt to help this cause. Plus you all look freakin' amazing! :)

    My sexy Rhonda, the support you receive is small in comparison to how awesome you are.

    Thank you for providing me the opportunity to get slapped for wearing the shirt. I will do anything to get the word out.

    Lots of love coming your way from Canada! You are amazing and youknow what? I didn't know you designed the shirts - even more amazing!

    BTW - doing my own small thing for breast cancer awareness this weekend. Tomorrow I'm running the Color Me Rad 5K, raising money for Keep A Breast Canada (there is a Keep a Breast US as well), an organization that educates young women and men about the importance of self-examination for early detection of breast cancer.

    Muah and (((hugs)))) - You're gonna do great!
