Breast Cancer 3-Day
Breast Cancer 3-Day
Barb is one month away from her 3-day, 60 mile walk. We are still trying to find out what the route will be so we can go cheer her on. We know it starts in San Mateo and ends in Golden Gate Park. As soon as we find out I can let you all know and maybe you can join us. As she gets closer to the day, she is finding out more about the specifics and the logistics. They will be walking about 20 miles per day. Sleeping in tent cities at night. The are up at 5am each morning and have to be on the road by 7am. Barb’s biggest worry at this point is when she will be able to take a shower. I can imagine that the 1st twenty mile day is tough but not bad. The excitement and adrenaline are at high levels. The second day is the day you realize that its not all fun and games. You must have some blisters and/or sore muscles from the previous day. Waking up that 3rd morning with 20 miles in front of you must be difficult. like that last 2 miles of a marathon, you are operating on sheer will and determination. Barb’s fundraising efforts continue. She has already raised $1400 !! Only $600 to go to meet her goal. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. We’ve only asked our closest friends for support and you have all really come through. Thanks!
**UPDATE** Barb recently had another breast cancer scare. A mammogram detected a mass in her left breast. Since Barb is “high risk” the doctor recommended a lumpectomy, which was performed two weeks ago. The results came in last Thursday. Much to our relief the tumor was benign. THANK YOU LORD! Barb, a true breast cancer survivor will be doing the 3-day walk with a fresh little scar on her left breast.
YOU ARE MY HERO BARBIE !
