3-Day Pictures

Again, thank you for the support. You've helped one incredible organization. You've helped with the fight against breast cancer! Jean Louis - merci mon amour.


I had a surprise visit from Sista Celeste on Sat. She was only going to walk for a few miles. The above picture was taken after 10 miles during lunch break where she rubbed my feet and gave me physical therapy treatments! She ended up walking till the end. We had a blast. Thanks CJ!







These guys were the most famous of all. The San Jose Police Dept. kept us going for three days. "Come on Ladies - you can get up this hill" They paraded on their bikes at dinner Sat. night under the big tents. I thought a "STAR" had arrived as all the women suddently started standing and cheering. These guys ARE STARS to all of us walkers. They kept us safe and motivated. Thanks San Jose!








The following guy was everywhere! Twice or three times a day he'd show up in a different costume. He was so cute and crazy. I finally asked him why he was there and he told me his wife is a survivor. What a guy!



Check out the signs.... the one above is offering free exams and the one below, "I treasure your chest"




Below are a few of the safety/street patrol bikers that supported us for 3 day. We love these guys & gals!


Check out her hog!

More pictures tomorrow......

3-Day....Day-2

Going to bed - no time to post pictures. I'll post all the pictures on Monday.

I did it! 40 miles so far with no blisters (thank you God). I had a surprise walker today - Sista Celeste! She was so much fun and I think I've recruited a walker for next year.

Thank you so much for your support - you all have donated to a great cause.

One thing...my favorite poster was, "Stop the war in my-rack" Crude, I know but you can only imagine the things we've witnessed today. My pictures will tell all.

I love boobies - and I love you!

Hugs and kisses-

Nancy

3-Day....Day1


The morning started early. Aunt Sandi drove me to the Fairgrounds and stayed for the opening ceremonies. Tears flowed. The power of people is amazing.

The people that came out in groves to cheer us on were amazing. The support of this community is amazing. Ok, I know I am using the word amazing a lot but it simply sums up my experience. I was laughing most of the time (the pictures will tell the story)

I met a lot of my training group along the way and even had a drive by from Brother Russ in his SDG&E truck.

I went to the Medical Tent twice to have my foot iced and must go do it again. It hurts a lot.

I'm tired and need to go soak so here are some pictures of the first day. Love you!





































Me and Bustin-Out Billy







Visited Lorraine in her classroom in Bird Rock during the walk.

3 Days To Go!!

I'm nervous. I can't beieve how unsettled I feel. Did I train enough? Will my foot hurt? Will I meet friends along the way? I'm usually somewhat confident but today I'm simply scared. I have not walked much this week as I hurt my foot and it's so dark when I get home.

I need to focus on WHY I am doing this. Of course, it's a personal challenge but I am doing this for my Aunt Sandi, Aunt Francis, Katy and Genette.

Thanks for all of your support - I need it!
