We will be walking 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day for the Cure are invested in breast cancer research and community programs. One person is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes in the United States alone. But ten times that amount of women are considered to be high risk due to their family histories - including myself.
I want to help put an end to these risks to research new technologies, treatments, and preventative methods. That's why Allen and I are walking so far - to do something bold about breast cancer. I'll keep you all posted on this incredible adventure and the training we take on for it!

Good for you guys! I have some friends who are doing this as well. What I don't understand is where do you sleep for the two nights? Do you camp? Stay in hotels?
ReplyDeleteYou camp out. What happens is they have designated check points, so you're done around 7 pm each night. Then they have trucks that transport all of your stuff to the campground for you, you pick your stuff up, put up your tent, and get dinner and hang for the rest of the night until you start again the next morning!
