On Mother's day bright and early I will be walking in the Chicago's Walk to Empower. This 5K walk is to raise money for Beast Cancer. I actually walked in this last year and it took little over 50 minutes. I hope to beat that this year. I may take The Daughter with me but we will see. I became involved in this wonderful fundraiser for my Auntie Glady. She was diagnosis almost two years ago. When she told me she was planning on participating, I immediately signed up. Last year's walk was in Chicago's Grant Park. It was amazing to see a sea of people in pink walking for the same cause. I even got a little emotional seeing everybody. If you could open your hearts and donate even a few dollars for this cause, it could make a huge difference in finding a cure. This time I'll take pictures. I was bit exhausted to do is last year. BTW I was in bed the rest of the day and it was mother's day.
Below is the link to my page. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to customize it.
Here is my aunt just hanging out after the walk. This year we are having a picnic so I am trying to plan what to make. Any ideas? My aunt is vegetarian trying to be vegan :D
Good luck! What a wonderful cause. Some hummus sandwiches with fresh veggies on whole grain bread would be delicious picnic spread!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo!! thanks Joy :-) I am walking as much as I can. I am actually doing a 5K walk this Sunday in Hinsdale to try and get ready for next Sunday... I hope I can finish in an hour... sometimes I can walk faster than other times...
