Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my Avon Walk page! I have been contemplating taking this walk since May when my sister, Mary Gay and her friends, started a team for this New York City challenge and fund raiser but I worried about the timing and logistics of taking the extra time required to travel from Seattle, miss a few days at work and get my young girls organized at home. But then I thought of the ten years since my sister and millions of other women and men have…

 Hey,

Dear Friends and Family,

 Last year I joined Team Laffalots to Walk 39 miles in NYC. It was truly an amazing experience,we met so many people who were survivors of Breast Cancer and  those who were walking for a friend or family member battling the disease  . The speeches,the emotional walk and the inspiration  of raising money for Breast Cancer research was  so rewarding. This is my second year and My Team is walking Charlotte North Carolina in October. Breast Cancer has affected…

So I took about a 2.5 week vacation from my walking training --- and boy did I pay for it this past saturday. Karen L & I (from the team) met up with our AVON Walking Buddies: Holly, Melissa, Lin & Dan to do the 15 mile practice walk that AVON organized. 

We took off at exactly 10am. There was a bit of a breeze -- but this was the day that SUMMER dropped down on the Bay Area. We 6 kept together the 7.5 miles on the way in --- but on the return trip everyone kept to their own…

And do people who are walking ever have ipods on listening to music?

and anymore great things you can tell me during the walk??? 

thanks! :)

My sister Boots raised me, more a Mom than a sister.  I was 2 when my mother just walked away from her family.  My father mentally checked out and although he never remarried, he was just a man, not a father. Boots was strong and smart and optimistic and her favorite words were,"you can do it if you set your mind to it".  She has been deceased for 8 years now.  My sister Shirley is a survivor.  I really want to be in it to end it.  This is my first walk and I want to walk every step of the…

I have been training  -- oh yes, because I know the greatness of this cause and that all my Donors are counting on me to fulfill the WHOLE event.   I have 6 more wks of the 2x wk self defense class and the 1x wk physical fitness (boot camp style) classes at the community college.   I'm needing to cut back a bit on the Oakland EZ Urban (at lunch time) to 3x wk. …
