My dear, sweet roommate from college, Laura, is preparing herself to do something amazing this summer. This year will mark the third time that Laura will walk 60 miles over a three day period in an effort to raise money for Breast Cancer. Laura runs an amazing campaign to raise money for such a great cause and I can't thank her enough. Breast cancer is some scary stuff. I am sure it has effected many of you and it robbed me of a Grandmother. My dad's mom died of breast cancer a few years before I was born and I never had the chance to meet her.
There is Hope! One of my mom's sisters has been a breast cancer survivor for 20 years now. There are many success stories yet it is extremely important that research continue until a cure for breast cancer has been found. If you are able, please consider making a donation to Laura who I think is a true inspiration. She has pledged to raise $2,300 but her personal goal is $3,400. Check out her flyer and her video!
That's great that this is her third year walking! And great to be a 20 yr survivor!

Hi Kristi,
I haven't read your blog for a while and was playing catch up. My baby sister and I are doing our first 3-day walk this year as well. It has been an incredible experience already with the fundraising that we are doing and we are even more excited for the walk itself. It's neat to hear about all of the others that are also doing it and expecially all of the ones that are repeat walkers. Tell Laura good luck and maybe we'll see her in August :)
