Sad News

Yesterday I got some bad news. A dear coworker has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She hadn't had a mammogram in years and finally went to the doctor. The cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and then metastasized to her vertebrae. This women is a wonderful lady. She is one of the sweetest and kindest women that I have ever met. She has a huge heart and puts up with more at work than any woman should. This news hit me pretty hard and brought home why I am doing the walk. There are so many great women that suffer with cancer, it scares me.

Every time that I think training is getting too hard. That fund raising is impossible I get a reminder like this and I realize that it is worth every step and every blister.
