Komen 3 Day 60 Mile Breast Cancer Walk

Tomorrow,  I start my 3 day journey to walk 60 miles because I do believe "that everyone deserves a lifetime"    There is not a day I don't think about my mom, or Michelle (see below), or others that are dealing with breast cancer.   There are so many stories and so many reasons to find a cure. 

 

The other day in my workout class I was reminded of my double mastectomy.  As I was lifting weights and nerve pain shot down my left arm.  A reminder of where I got my cancer lymph nodes striped and removed.    I got so pissed I teared up for a minute and then I realized,  I'm working out and alive today. I'm cancer free.  It is a good day.  

 

I will walk each mile with many emotions, with my mom by my side, Michelle on my mind, and hear so many stories, and see so many faces on the back of people's T-shirts.  I will smile, cry, laugh, and breathe in the air knowing that I am a SURVIVOR and I can walk 60 miles.   

 

The best part will be when Larry, Kaylynn and Reeve will meet me at one of the cheering stations.   Seeing their smiling faces will remind how life is so precious and beautiful.  

 

I want let everyone know that I thank you from my heart for all your support and kindness, allowing me to experience this walk, as I have been through a big journey since my mom was first diagnosed in October 2001.  I really never was a PINK girl, but that changed quickly.    :) 

 

Let's roll!   

 

Love to you all,

Traci
