This is my first 3-day walk, and I am nervous and excited. You may ask why I am doing this, and I am doing it for all the women (and men) who have been or could be affected by the disease.
Though it's not something we tend to talk about, I am a woman with a family history of breast cancer. The person in my family who had it is a survivor, and I am walking for her. I am walking for her and for the rest of my family. I am walking for friends' and their families. I am walking because if the money I can raise for this brings us even closer to a cure for this form of cancer (and even all other forms of cancer), then I am doing something.
Help me reach my fundraising goal, and you can be doing something, too.

Please support me as I take an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

Manda's Training Progress

Topics

Training Log 4/23/08
So far, my training has been somewhat minimal.
My first training walk was around the block across the street from my office a couple of weeks ago. 1 mile
My second training walk was around the block that I live on last Wednesday. It's a fairly big block, and I only went around once. I could have gone further, but I was by myself, and I had a time limit of 1 hour before my fiance came looking for me, so I went home. 1.75 miles
My third training walk was a team walk around the track at Pleasanton Middle School. We logged 3 miles, plus the 0.25 mile to and from the shop where we met up. 3.25 miles.
Total miles so far? 6 miles.
We have another team (or mostly team) walk happening this evening, and we're going 4 miles!
