Breast Cancer 3Day Walkers
Information
Breast Cancer 3Day Walkers in the Twin Cities area. August 21-23
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Members: 23
Latest Activity: Oct 6
The Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3Day is August 21-23 this year. As a 1 1/2 year breast cancer survivor I will be participating in this amazing event for the first time ever. And this is in thanks to Elaine whom made the mistake of telling me that SHE is also interested in doing the 3Day someday! So out of that short little sentence came the reality that we WILL do the walk this year...2009!! Elaine is from Oklahoma, so she is even flying to Minneapolis to participate! Can you believe that? I guess that is proof of the wonderful people you can meet here on Blog To Lose.
What we are looking for is CHEERLEADERS! Someone to push us along with our training and even help out a little bit with our fundraising! Their recommended training schedule is pretty demanding! And about the fundraising...each of us needs to raise $2300. And if we come up short, we have to cover it ourselves! (hence the motivation...lol)
If you are in the Twin Cities and are already registered for the walk, or if you are considering registering.. feel free to join us! We haven't officially created a team yet, but more than like will in the near future.
Their proposed training schedule is pretty demanding!

- Yeah... me too! They will have some organized training walks in my area, so I'm pumped for that! Check to see if there are any organized walks even "close" to you. Not sure where your closest "3Day" is or when...but you never know!
