| Hello from the "Show Me" state! My friend Tracy & I are teaming up to face this 26.2 mile challenge together- much like the Network of Strength's mission is to ensure that no one face breast cancer alone. As the weeks pass by & the long runs get longer & longer & LONGER, I think of a good friend of mine who is a breast cancer survivor. No matter how badly my mucsles might ache or how heavy a tiny water bottle is to carry I think to myself that I am doing this by choice- my friend did not choose to have breast cancer. She has told me how badly it hurt when she first got her implant after her Mastectomy- how heavy it was & at times she was in so much pain that she couldn't even bend over to tie her shoes. The pain I feel during or after my runs cannot possibly compare to the pain my friend went through during her battle. But she got through it & is now cancer free! And just when I think that I can't run that last mile I just imagine my friend at the finish line cheering me on & I always finish with a smile on my face!
So! Show me YOUR pink streak by helping me raise money for the Network of Strength so it can continue helping those with breast cancer! To track my progress and fundraising efforts, visit my blog at: www.michelles26miles.spaces.live.com
Remember every second counts, every cent counts! Thank you, Michelle |
