Wendy (sister), Sandra (mom) and me at the 2011 walk.

Part of the fun of this walk is that almost everyone, men and women alike wear decorated pink bras to show their support for those who are battling breast cancer. Last year on Labor Day we decorated our bras and it was a hoot!

All fun aside though we are thankfully approaching the 6th anniversary of my mom being cancer free! My mom isn’t the only one I’m walking for. I’m also walking in memory of Jill Harris and in honor of Sharie Schultz, Janet Carter, Gayle Rainville, Rene Syler and Cathy Sasser-who are all survivors.

I don’t mind doing the walking, I’m in the best shape I’ve been in for years but I need your help in raising the money. My goal is to raise $250 before October 20th. This year I am adding an incentive. For every $5 you donate you will get 1 entry into a giveaway for a copy of the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive-101 Inspirational Stories about Counting Your Blessings and Having a Positive Attitude. After going to my donation page and making a donation, come back here and leave me a comment with the name you donated with, you don’t have to leave the amount in your comment. On October 21st I’ll use a random number generator to choose the winner. If you don’t leave a comment you won’t be entered to win. This incentive is open to US residents only.

Thank you for your love and support!!
