Something that began as a toss away comment at knit night, “Hey did you know that the 3 Day is in San Francisco this year? We should walk.” turned into reality as it was answered with, “Yeah, we should definitely put together a team and do that.” “I’ll organize it.” and “I can’t walk this year, but I’d love to support you.” A few short weeks later and Allyse had set up the team and Christine, Manda, Betts, and Jo had all joined.

We’re all part of a knitting group that meets every week at our local yarn store, Knit This, Purl That! in Pleasanton (although you can find us there more often than that!) Each one of us has our own reasons for participating in the 3 Day be sure to click on the links below to discover our personal stories. We’re committed to doing all that we can to raise funds to fight breast cancer and to support each other through the process. Our goal is to complete the walk as a team we don’t need to be the first to finish or the largest fundraisers we just want to do all that we possibly can and do it together. To that end, we ask that you please consider first donating to our members who have not yet met their personal fundraising goals.

We’ve bought the shoes and the water bottles. We’ve mapped out our training routes and scheduled walking times. We've traded sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday for early morning training walks and have begun our training in earnest. We have all made the physical and mental commitment necessary to walk 60 miles in 3 days to prove that we are serious about ending breast cancer. The net proceeds from the walk benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment.

Thank you so much for supporting us and helping to end breast cancer!
