Sad Day

On Thursday February 11th 2010, around 8 pm Susan May Large lost her courageous battle with breast cancer. She battled this disease with all her strength and courage, never backing down. During her battle with this illness, countless people were inspired by her refusal to quit at any times. Susan May Large left behind an amazing family, including husband Ron, son Joe, loving daughter Robyn, and her grandson Liam. She will be greatly missed. We will continue to fight this battle against breast cancer in her memory, and never stop until we find a cure

A Weekend To Remember

As most of you know, the 3-Day did not turn out exactly as planned. The terrible weather cut our walk from 3 days to only 1 day. Actually, it cut the walk to 1 official day, and 2 amazing "unofficial" walks on Friday and Saturday. We met some amazing people over the course of this weekend. I am still at a loss for words right now. I have no idea how to even begin to explain how amazing this journey was or how great the people we were fortunate enough to meet are. Once I can actually process all my thoughts, I will attempt to write a post that makes some sense. For now I'll simply leave a list of amazing/crazy things from the weekend.

*Friday and Saturday are canceled
*We email a girl named Jennifer and decide to meet her at the Willow Grove mall and walk Friday
*Jennifer and her teammate Sandie quickly become our unofficial teammates for the weekend. (we are a team of misfits)
*Helen, a survivor, and one of the toughest people I have ever met also joins forces with us.
*I dress like an idiot

*Day 2 we go to KOP
*We walk into a sea of pink and everyone is going crazy
*I now have a pink mohawk and look even worse than the first day
*Robyn looks crazy also
*We got to see Joe, www.keepjoewalking.homestead.com he actually remembers us from the get started meeting. He says he's been keeping track of our efforts. (Joe has no idea of the impact this had on us)
*Helen invites us to stay at the Hampton Inn with her. Our team of misfits spends the night together and we leave for our first official day around 6 am Sunday
*I torture everyone reading this by stopping now, without talking about the final day...Stay tuned

Bring On The Rain

I drive past the willow grove mall every morning on the way to work. Luckily, Robyn and I live right down the street from the mall, meaning we don't have to get up as early as some of the other walkers. 30 minutes is a big deal at 5am! Anyway, the whole mall parking lot is filled with 3-Day trailers, trucks, and tents. It's a pretty cool sight, I can't wait to see what it looks like packed with thousands of people tomorrow morning.
Also, I heard that it is supposed to rain a little bit this weekend. By a little bit, I mean it's supposed to be looking like Seattle this weekend! Woo Hoo. Oh well we really can't complain. This isn't anything compared to what everyone fighting this disease goes through every single day. We just had to pack a few more things, and buy a whole ton of more stuff that we didn't expect to bring. Well, back to work talk to you later today
