Making Strides Against Breast Cancer – 20 Years and a Wall of Hope
The annual American Cancer Society breast cancer event was held on October 18, 2015 this year and it was bitter cold out! My toes were frozen at last year’s event but this year every phalange was chilled to the bone.
The annual American Cancer Society breast cancer event was held on October 18, 2015 this year and it was bitter cold out! My toes were frozen at last year’s event but this year every phalange was chilled to the bone.
Cold or not, there are several reasons that I was determined to go, so with Mom in tow we headed downtown. Being the 20th anniversary, I knew the event would bring a nice crowd full of pink and that it did! I thrive around pink supporters and survivors – the more the better and this is one of the reasons I didn’t want to miss this event. Another reason is that I suspected I would run into several friends, which I did and I knew I could count on them for lots of hugs!
Because of the anniversary this year, the organization honored survivors with a wall of hope and I was thrilled to take part and sign my name on the poster that hung with my story in the survivor tent.
All the wall of hope survivors cut the ribbon at the start of the walk.

Sadly, because I still have torn ligaments and a sprained ankle from my Susan G. Komen 3day walk in the beginning of the month, I wasn’t able to walk with the group but my daughter and her girlfriend Jaelyn walked in my honor. #EartoEarSmiles
So happy that I didn't sit home in my PJ's on this cold morning and miss all the fun! Ted & Amy from 93Q were there this year, along with my friends from PBJ's Lunchbox Food truck and Toss N Fire Pizza!
