3Day 2008 & YAY FLYERS!!!

My boys made the playoffs! They went from ninth and almost missing the playoffs to sixth - yay! Here we come, Washington! Go FLYERS!

Okay, I got that off my chest. And speaking of chests ; ) I finally came up with my tagline for my fundraising letters. I'll be sharing that with you all in a minute.

It has been crazy lately for me. The weather has not made it easy to walk, but I am thankful for the rain. I did my new yoga cd from Katie and I have been in more wonderful weariness than I remember in a long time. Gotta get that cd to be a part of my training for the 3Day. And I have been crazy working on making a website for my Computer Writing and English class. Ok, that is it for housekeeping and where I have been.

Try this on for size: If you've got some boobies that you love, or you know someone who has - please pass this email (letter, link) along and make a difference in many boobies lives! I love it! Do you? I have my letter just about ready to go, knew what I wanted to say; I could not get the tagline just right. I think I've got it.


Here's the important part of the press release for 2008 from www.3day.org :

Taking place in 14 cities nationwide, the Breast Cancer 3-Day is a three-day, 60-mile walk that provides an opportunity to educate tens of thousands of people about breast health, including the importance of early detection. Breast Cancer 3-Day participants commit to raising a minimum of $2,200 and walking an average of 20 miles a day during each three-day event. Proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Day are used for breast cancer research, education, and community outreach programs. As the primary beneficiary of the Breast Cancer 3-Day, Susan G. Komen for the Cure receives 85 percent of net proceeds and the remaining 15 percent goes to the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Please visit www.The3Day.org, or call 800.996.3DAY for more information.

My thoughts on the 3Day:
The 3Day will be here in Atlanta October 24 - 26, 2008. Two of my Simply Blessed team members are walking with me. One is a survivor - they are both joyful people. Actually, the entire three days is a joyful time. You laugh, you cry, you nurse blisters. Doctors and nurses give their time to patch you up. There are literally hundreds of volunteers who do everything from helping to set up your tent, move your luggage, feed you, clean the bathrooms, etc., etc., etc.


There are a few fantastic groups I have to mention. The motorcycle guys! And the trolling van people! They dress up, they keep the route clear, they dance across intersections with you. They give you lollipops, they make you smile, they make you feel like a queen. There's nothing like a motorcycle guy revving past you in his pink plaid kilt! : )

There are volunteers along the way at the pit stops and lunch stops who leave chalk messages on the sidewalk, dress up like the characters from MASH while serving you a sandwich, or beckon you to a rest dressed like Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow (and that was a woman!). I could go on and on. You become part of a family. Everyone is in it to assist each walker walk those 60 miles.

My link is along the sidebar. Make a donation. And then pass the link along. You know some boobies that you love...give them a long time to live. Make a difference.
