It is amazing to think that 60 miles can make such a difference in how we look at fighting breast cancer. It brings awareness, emotion, camaraderie and determination to make a difference.
We are four determined women who each have loved ones inspiring our quest. We've all been touched or affected by cancer in some way. We have much training to do and lots of money to raise. We take this challenge very seriously... but plan to have a blast achieving it!
WE WILL DO THIS!
Please pass the word to your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers that we are on this quest. We appreciate any support you can provide: a personal donation, a fund-raising idea, a donation of goods or services for auction, donations of gently used items for our Pink Ribbon Yard Sales, etc...
Check back often for updates on our progress and schedule of fund-raising events. We appreciate you!

Everyone is back to camp, camp flag has been raised, one Melon is temporarily down with dehydration but has IV running, and the camp party is about to start! Have no idea how we are going to dance, especially since most of us can't even walk! LOL

After a relaxing evening at a hotel in Bellevue, it's off to the races... kinda. Today's agenda has us starting at Qwest Field for opening ceremony, then... walking (A LOT). Course for today; Qwest field, crossing I-90 floating bridge and ending at Merrymore Park. Wish us luck! :)
