Now that my main cancer treatment has finished it is time for me to start doing something in the community that will help the fight against breast cancer. There were two options for us: Avon walk in July and Susan G. Komen in September. As many of my Spanish friends are going to Spain during the summer we agreed to do it in September.
Susan G. Komen 3 day walk is in San Francico and a total of 60 miles during 3 days that is full of experience. Lorraine and I went to a meeting the other day and it was really emotional, can not wait for the event to be here. However before that happen we better start training properly as 60 miles is almost 100 Km that I have never done in my life in such a short period of time!!!.
So far we will be around 11 of us, including Cheryl Sole, 5 year survivor. Marta Solsona, breast cancer fighter with me. And all my dear friends Fiona, Lorraine, Marcela, Monica, Gema, Neus, Rosa and probably some other friends that we might get to join us. Our team is called "Pink melting pot"
100% of the net proceeds from the Susan G. Komen 3-Day™ benefit Susan G. Komen™ and fund innovative global breast cancer research and local community programs supporting education, screening and treatment. Virtually every major advance in the fight against breast cancer in the last 30 years has been impacted by a Komen grant.
Please take a moment to see our page and please sponsor us on any amount you can, small is big so please $1 will make us very happy. Each of us has to collect $2,300 in order to do the race, but we will find whatever way we can do to make it!.
