Okay, men...if you're here for a peep show...sorry to disappoint you! BUT we are on myspace and you can add us to help SAVE THE MELONS!

I am SUPER excited to share with you, 5 lovely women-Stephanie (Cheatham) Dailey, Angela, Powell, Cynthia Powell, Jennifer (Kurish) Christenberry and myself who have committed our bodies to 3 days of pure exhaustion and share our experience as 3-Day walkers. Sixty miles may not seem a lot at first, but when you start to break it down and think about it- a 5k is 3.1 miles...so to put it into perspective we have decided to walk 20 5K's or from The Varsity in Athens to the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta! At a medium pace we are to walk 3 miles an hour. That's 20 hours of walking in one weekend.

So....why would you be even remotely interested in reading about our experience? I think that you will be just as surprised at the small details that happen behind the scenes and when we all come together, just what difference it really makes. We are still a little over 6 months away and I never would have realized how much the fundraising would change my life. I always thought, I don't have time....or I don't have the money, but now I realize that just like Rome wasn't built in a day, the same applies to fighting deadly diseases.

I challenge you to support our team. It doesn't have to be monetarily (however, that would be GREATLY appreciated). Just take a moment every day, Monday-Saturday and read our journals. If you don't think you can follow us every day, pick one day and "catch up." It's only a small commitment in comparison to what a loved one with cancer endures. They never get a second, a minute, an hour or a day off from this deadly disease we call breast cancer. Bookmark our website now- trust me, you don't want to miss this!!

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LEAVE COMMENTS....THEY ARE THE BEST ENCOURAGEMENT!!

Apart from the physical and blog side of our commitment, we have promised to raise a minimum of $2,200 for this walk. I don't know about you, but $2,200 could easily be a nice vacation to Europe, that new bedroom set that I've been wanting for quite sometime or almost two years' worth of electric bills....sounds nice doesn't it? Now take $2,200 and think that it could save a life...just one.

Isn't that priceless? I know for me, it was...I wouldn't of known my mom if it hadn't been for someone else with a passion to find the cure for cancer.
