Sixty miles. Three days. Four friends. Five blisters (or was it 50 blisters). All to fight against breast cancer. In the summer of 2002, I did the Avon Breast Cancer Three Day Walk.
The end.....:
At the Seattle Center -- Nancy, Nina, Danna and Sharon couldn't be smiling any bigger -- we had completed the walk and collected our reward shirt. Blue shirts are for walkers, white shirts are for crew and pink shirts are for Breast Cancer survivors. All participants were asked to wait together in a waiting area for the closing ceremonies. It is a sobering experience to look around the room and see so many pink shirts - I was scarey that those wearing the shirts were of all ages, all builds, all races - Breast cancer is not a disease that strikes other types of people - it could strike me or any one of my friends.
