The Decorated Porch

When I walked through the garden gate I loved how the adorable porch was decorated with all the hanging balloons.

At first glance you could tell that there was a special birthday party here!

Happy Birthday Cindy!
Great job Melissa decorating the porch!

She's walking...

60 miles in 3 days...
Today was my first serious training day... :)

I know most of us have been touched by breast cancer in some way or another. In my case, it was my good friend Andy that was diagnosed in January 2008. The great news is that she just passed her 5 year cancer free mark. We thought of celebrating in Mexico or Palm Springs but in the end decided that we would show our gratitude by giving back to one of the causes that helped save her life. We'll be joining the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk in September. The walk is a total of 60 miles over those 3 days and while I know that's a pretty big challenge, it's nothing compared to overcoming a breast cancer diagnosis.

With that, I'm asking if you can help support my efforts with a donation. They told me to "ask big" but honestly, it's hard enough just to ask. My goal is to raise $2,300. If you can help with a donation, that would be great. No amount is too small and definitely, no amount is too large!

Lastly, if I can walk in support of one of your loved ones, let me know. I'll make sure I represent them in some way during the event.

Thanks for your consideration and support.
