Hello Everyone,
I first posted a goal of $200.00 on the Making Strides for Breast Cancer site. Thanks to the generosity of others, changed it to $300.00. What a surprise to see the donations reach $465.00 as of this last week.
Thank you for supporting breast cancer research and the continuation of the wonderful work done by the American Cancer Society. I know how they have touched MY life.
Thank you also for believing that we could complete this walk. Knowing you were behind the scenes with prayers and cheers for success helped so much along with your friendship, I treasure most.
Heartfelt gratitude to: Alice, Bonnie, Carol, Cheryl, Deb, Dana & Kim, Gerry, Jane, Janet, Martha, Meg, Nancy, Natalie, Rhonda, Ruth, Sandy, Sandy Jo, Mike and Walt.
Here is the note I sent out that afternoon:
Hi everyone,
Just a note to let you know that we finished our 5K walk! We started about 9:05 and returned to Heritage Landing about 10:10. It sprinkled the entire time so we were quite wet when we finished. Luckily the temperature was about 63 with no wind, so we didn't get chilled. After standing around waiting about an hour to get started, it felt great when we finally got underway, and positively terrific when we walked through the pink balloon arbor at the end of the event.
Foxy and Lena were great and were getting lots of pets and complements from other people walking along with us. It was definitely an energetic, positive group to spend an hour with and helped us keep a good steady pace.
Afterwards, Carol and I stopped for a sweet roll and coffee before heading back to Whitehall/Montague. We wanted to sit down some place dry and have something warm before heading home. The dogs didn't mind having a moment in their warm cars to rest a bit either.
Am I tired? You bet!!! I'm pretty certain a nap is very likely. But now that I am in my warm house and wearing dry clothes, I couldn't be more pleased and proud that we did the walk AND finished!
Thank you again so much for your generous support and believing we could do this. It meant more than you know!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend~
