So, tis the season and we're ramping up for our FIFTH year. I decided to start this blog because my memory is bad. So I asked Instigating Sister for something to add:
I am constantly amazed at the energy at the 3 day. All these people coming together for ONE CAUSE. Everyone with their own story. The first year I got us to do this, I was thinking, it will be a good excuse to get in shape. Then once we started fundraising it became this rush to see how much support we could get. Then once we started camping, I just knew this was one weekend with my sisters I would never trade. To most people walking all day, camping, and doing the same thing again seems crazy. From Day 1 the first year, I knew it was a weekend I would never forget. We will walk until there is a cure, and I look forward to the 3 day because it is a time with my mom and sisters that no one can understand until you have done it.
The 3 day is so hard to explain until you have walked it or participated in it. I highly encourage all women to try it at least once!
So that's how we got here. 90 days out(ish).
I haven't done a single practice walk and need new shoes, but we've still got some time.
We're in full fundraising mode. There's a wine tasting on September 26th at Wine Styles in Phoenix from 6-8 for $25 dollars a person. We're collecting donations to raffle and include in the silent auction now!
Then, we're having a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament on October 17th. We had one last year and it was a lot of fun.
I'll post pics after the events!

My family loves the Fall. It's three days season: 60 miles in three days to raise money for breast cancer.

300 Miles and counting.
