Training Crunch Time!

Carole and I are furiously training now for the Avon Walk. Only 3 weeks to go! We've done a couple of 11-mile walks and this week are taking advantage of a Vacation Bible School class for our kids to hit the gym and get in 5 miles on the treadmills.

I think this is going to be a fun event. I'm definitely slowed down since last year, but Carole is really great, so we are helping each other keep up a good pace. I am absolutely looking forward to walking with the fabulous San Jose Bicycle Police as our escorts, they are so cute and so fun!

If you would like to donate, because as Carole says, "blisters suck, but breast cancer is worse!" and I'd follow that with blisters hurt for a short time, but breast cancer sucks forever, please click on either of our links on the left. We are both still fundraising!

I don't get it

Last year I wrote about a young woman I met who'd sent me a quilt with lots of pink ribbons on it. I didn't really appreciate the quilt until we talked and she explained that three years before she'd been diagnosed with DCIS at 32 and how she saw power in the ribbon. After the DCIS she went on to have a beautiful baby girl and she felt like her life was hers again.

Yesterday she was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer.

I don't get it. I just don't.
