Aside from a short trip to Camping World for a few things for the coach we spent the day preparing to support friends of Pat and Jan that will be participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-day Walk for the Cure. Well Barbara helped, I just watched the dogs.
Like the Susan G. Komen Run for the Cure, this event is a fund raising activity benefiting breast cancer research. Pat is currently being treated for breast cancer and the ladies are walking in her name.
This is a three-day, sixty-mile, walk. It is quite well organized. There are activities in the evening and even a tent city that is erected each evening to house the participants. Hundreds of small pink tents! All along the route there are snack/water stations. It looks like the participants have a lot of fun, but sixty miles is pretty serious work, so physical preparation is necessary. The things the ladies prepared today will be used through the weekend to motivate and cheer on the participants that raised money in Pat’s name.
They have named the group PJ Walkers, and they are getting up at 4:00 AM to set off for the starting line. I will be asleep, but wish them well.
