Walked for Hope
I did the Walk yesterday... my sister, DH, and 2 SIL's joined me. Thanks again everyone for all your support. By the way, I reached my goal of $1000; but I'm still taking donations ;).

It was an interesting day. I've done these walks before, in fact several, but never through the eyes of a survivor. I was awed, saddened, and (oh gosh, here it goes) dare I say, could feel the ... love.
It was sad that there are so many people out there that suffer with cancer; I was awed that all those people did this for me (and by "me", I mean all people that deal with cancer) (heck, these people got up at 6AM on a sunday!); and the love comes from the great group of cancer survivors I met that are so courageous, so giving, so welcoming, and so inspiring. Some times I felt like crying from saddness and other times from happiness.

I posed with the other survivors for the survivor photos in which I took off my cap and felt very proud to be among so many other survivors.

And they even had a survivors' cake! (I had 2 pieces)
