Gearing up for the next walk!

I'm just getting plans started for my next walk!  This time I am going to do the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure in Michigan, in August of 2010.  I have 11 months to get ready!!!

Fall is just around the corner...

It's starting to get cooler here at night, so fall is on my mind. I was thinking about Halloween... since we lived on a main road we never got more than a few trick or treaters. Aunt Lill's neighborhood was WILD with little ghouls running around. She used to put together awesome treats for the kids she knew & that included me & Ricky. One year she had these big cups FULL of candy saved for us. I think she just really loved kids...

It's funny, when I decided to start posting memories I thought I would have a hard time. I AM having a hard time, but just deciding which memories to share... I still can't believe she's really gone. Cancer SUCKS!!!

Reasons We Must Fight Breast Cancer

This information is excerpted from my participant's guide and based on 2006 statistics from the American Cancer Society:

1. A woman living in the U.S. has a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.
2. A new case of breast cancer is diagnosed every 3 minutes.
3. Breast cancer kills nearly 41,000 people a year--that equates to one every 13 minutes.
4. No one knows what causes breast cancer or how it can be prevented.
5. Men can get breast cancer too.

Frightening, huh?! For more information see www.avonfoundation.org
