Signing Up

I attended a "Getting Started Meeting" in east Phoenix on 3/8. This was when I signed my name on the dotted line and officially committed to participating in the 3 Day. Gina was the presenter. She was fabulous. She talked about training, fund raising, and the 3 Day experience. Then she showed a 15 minute video.

An abridged version of the video can be found on the 3 Day website (follow this link). It was very emotional and there was not a dry eye in the room. Gina asked for a few volunteers to talk about why they were walking. The first lady said she was walking because she had lost a friend to breast cancer and she knew several others who currently had the disease and were going through treatments. The next lady said she was a breast cancer survivor and just had surgery in January of this year. Every person in that room had their own story for why they were walking. Some had friends and family members who were survivors or who lost the fight. Others personally experienced the disease. There were a few who didn't know anyone personally affected by breast cancer but they wanted to make a difference. I met some great people at this meeting and I hope I will see them again at training walks or at the 3 Day in November.
