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.

We all go through our day to day and don't pay much mind to the silent killer that creeps up on so many unsuspecting women. Breast Cancer. So often it's too late when they find out, but it doesn't have to be this way. By donating to our fantastic pledge to walk 60miles in 3days you recognize the brave women that have fought this disease and the ones still fighting today. With every donation you give another woman a chance for early diagnosis, or you fund the research to cure the ones already fighting. What if it was you? What if it was your sister, mother or best friend. Save a life, make a donation today!
