Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

Lately there have been so many people I've known that have been affected by breast cancer... some have been so very blessed to have caught it before it caused a systemic issue while others have not been so lucky. It seems the closer we get to a cure, the more people find out terrible news. Last year I wanted to walk in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. This year I'm really motivated to do the Avon Walk. It's 39 miles; 26.2 the first day and 13.1 the next. I would love to get a group together and have an awesome experience together walking for a wonderful cause. I think just the atmosphere itself will be wonderful... in fact, just reading the information on the website gave me chills. I have about 4 months to train as the walk is in June. The kicker is $1800 must be raised by each member of your team and that's difficult, especially in these times. But hopefully it will be done. I am pumped. :)
