Walking the pounds off for Breast Cancer

ackmaui · February 17, 2008

I have found a way for me to lose weight and it is a good cause. I am doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on May 17th and 18th in Boston. It is a 30 mile walk over two days. I have been training for four weeks now and I walk 4-5 miles a day 4 times a week. I can feel my clothes getting looser and I am so psyched that this is a great way to exercise. Now if would just not be so cold out it would make walking a little easier!!!

That's a great way to combine the need for exercise and a way to make a difference. One of my best friends at work was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of yrs ago. She had a double masectomy. She has had reconstructive ps, but she believes in the 3 day walk and has participated in it for a couple of years now.

Good job and way to make a difference for others.
