So happy to sleep in my own bed!! All together our team raised an astounding $7,883 for Susan G. Komen in about 4 months. There were around 1,500 walkers in the Chicago event who's contributions totaled over $3.5 MILLION!!!
Despite sore knees, swollen ankles, aching hips and blisters the size or quarters we will all be returning next year with an even bigger team with an even larger fundraising goal! Thank you everyone for all of your support, we couldn't have done any of this without ALL of you!!

First pairs of broken in shoes
Its been several blisters and nearly 40 miles each, but Emily and my first pairs of walking shoes are officially broken in!! Komen says we should bring a minimum of 2 broken in pairs to the official walk as it is a rain or shine event. So I guess that means another trip to the shoe store is in order.
