TEARS OF JOY AS THE JOURNEY JUST BEGINS!

Tonight I feel overwhelmingly blessed!!! Thanks to all of my family, friends, coworkers, and my community we have raised over $2300 for my fundraising for the Susan G Komen 3 Day 60 Mile walk coming up in August!!!!! I couldn't have done it without these amazing people in my life!!!!
But the journey has really just begun. I will continue training hard over the next several weeks to prepare myself for those 3 days. I am already brought to tears over the generosity of all of the people who have donated their time and money to help me fight for this great cause!! Over those 3 days I will be with thousands of men and women who are just as passionate about this fight and it will no doubt be very memorable, inspirational, and life changing for me. I will post pictures of the 3 Day event afterwards on this blog so you can have a glimpse into the experience.
I also want to invite anyone who reads this blog to leave a comment below with the name of a person you know who has either survived or passed away from breast cancer. I have a tank top that I made that already has several names written on it. I will take the names you give me and add them to the shirt and wear it on one of the days of the 3 Day. Those names will be my inspiration that day and will remind me why I am doing what I am doing. I want to celebrate those who have fought and survived and honor those who lost their battle. This is the tank top right after I made it.




WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW GRATEFUL I AM! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND GENEROSITY!!!!


Love Always and Forever,
Theresa
