Susan G. Komen 3-Day

My Aunt Maggie was diagnosed with breast cancer the same week I found out I was pregnant with Rhett and she has spent the last year and a half battling and beating her cancer. To celebrate her and the other women in our families that have battled breast cancer, my sister-in-law and I decided to walk the Dallas Komen 3-day this year. It's a 60-mile walk that takes place over a long weekend and the proceeds go to help support breast cancer research.

Most people train for this event, but most people also don't have a work schedule like I have had, so our team ended up winging it. We walked without any training, which I really don't recommend, but we had a blast doing it!

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Lunch break...


Have you ever seen so much pink? :)


Our team, the Axyon Asphalt Angels...


Walking and walking. I think this was mile 45...


Our team in front of some ridiculous volkswagon bug...


The cheering section at the very end...




Closing ceremonies...




The women in pink are breast cancer survivors who walked the 3-day. I was so impressed with their spirit...


It was an amazing event, and Jenn and I have already signed up to walk next year. I still have 2 weeks left to hit my 2009 fundraising goal, so if you're interested, there's a link at the top right hand corner of my blog. I'm so close!! Thanks again to everyone that supported us during the walk. I can't wait to do it again next year!!!
