Avon Brest Cancer 2 Day Walk − 2 June, 2007
Avon Brest Cancer 2 Day Walk!
Annie completed the 40 mile 2 day Avon Breast Cancer Walk over the weekend. She was able to walk all 40 miles which was no small feat. She does walk more than anyone else I know, so if there was to be someone who could do it, I would suspect her.
In order to walk, she also had to raise at least $1800 which is also no small feat. To raise the money we both reached out to our networks. It shows the power and importance of a strong network.
The other three members of Annie's team (Megan, Jenna and Eric) felt the pain from the first 20 miles of the walk. I meet up with them at the 20 mile mark and their feet were hurting with blisters. They sat out the last 6 miles left of the first day and Megan and Jenna sat out the last 6 miles of the second day. I could tell in their eyes that they really did want to finish, and at some point the body will tell you otherwise.
To help Annie finish, I walked the last 6 miles on Saturday and the last 6 on Sunday. It was fun for me to be a part of the trip. At times it was a bit awkward when people on the side would thank me, but I really only walked 12 miles. So either I would lie and say your welcome back, or ignore them and be the rude guy. I opted to lie.
I took a bunch of video of the event, so I'll be posting a video soon to Youtube for the world to see. It will be a tribute to Team Bring It On, which is their team name.
I thought about how funny it would be to have a team made up of all men and call it something like:
"The Bras"
"Manup"
"Man Boobs"
On the first day when it was just Annie and I walking, I kept telling her how proud I was that she was doing this and was going to finish the full 40 miles. She is a powerful women and has overcome a lot with her Lupus and it's events like this that remind me of that all the more.
