This is it! Saturday and Sunday we walk 39 miles to show just how much we hate breast cancer...or something like that! Someone asked me why I do this and how I can push muself to walk 39 miles in 2 days. My response was to simply explain that cancer is not for wimps and so I am showing the cancer that I'm not a wimp and that I have no intention of letting it or the sarcoidosis run my life.
I'm walking for the women who can't; I'm walking so my daughters won't have to sit in their doctor's office someday and be told they have breast cancer; I'm walking so someone can find a cure so other women won't have to have their breasts cut off; and I'm walking because I need to prove to myself that the cancer and sarcoid don't define who I am.
Melissa Etheridge wrote a wonderful song for survivors, "I Run for Life". I walk for all the same things.
