Some folks know, others don't, that I have joined a team to walk 60 miles in 3 days for the fight against breast cancer. Crazy, right?!? Our clever team name is "Hikin' for Hooters!" There are 4 ladies in our team that will be heading out to San Francisco the first part of September to walk the Susan G. Komen 3-day! So far, we have mainly been focusing on our fundraising, since each of us must raise $2300, but now that the weather is becoming quite agreeable, our training will really get underway!
From what I've learn from my teammate, Kim, it is an experience I will not soon forget! She has tried not to give away too many details about the experience. She wants us to be blown away! But I'm looking forward to massive amount of walkers, crazy outfits, tons of supportive fans cheering us along, events before and after our walks each day, and hopefully an end to breast cancer!
I have been lucky enough not to lose anyone close to be from breast cancer, but I do have some friends that have had their own battles with this life stealer. What about you? Has breast cancer affected you or someone you love?

I'm sure there will be lots more blogging about this in the weeks and months to come!
