I heard about this walk on KFOG one day. I decided, what the heck. I hate Breast Cancer. I hate all Cancer in fact, it has touched too many corners of my existence, truthfully. I like to walk. What the heck.
I obviously started this walk with a different attitude than I have now.

Now that I'm commited, getting donations...and such - my attitude and my entire outlook have changed. Well, maybe not changed but intensified. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and support of people in my life, of people I don't even know who continue to offer kind words and the money out of their pocket.


I'm looking forward to this walk big time. I have an awesome team, Team Freedom, one of those members being my Auntie Lisa - who kicks major for doing this walk with me. She is the coolest chick around.

I am walking for so many people. In so many people's memory. In so manys honor. I am 20 years old, and the word "CANCER" sits in the pit of my stomach, shifting just a little every now and then to remind me it has become a part of who I am. Ten years ago September (and even before that when it all began), cancer became an important part of my life. I was ten years old, and my mom died of it. It started out as breast cancer, but eventually spread. I wasn't old enough to really understand what was happening. One day I had my mom. The next - I didn't. That's my mom down there on the left.

Growing up without a mom is something that I don't think anyone should have to do. It has been a journey figuring myself out, as I'm sure it has been for every kid - but more so because I lacked the guidance I believe is necessary...it just seems WRONG to be without a mother.

ANYWAY. Mom, sister, aunt, grandma, daughter, niece, wife, girlfriend, friend, WHATEVER. We are all losing too many people to this. I think we should probably do something about it. And this is the best way I know how...


I want to thank all of my contributors, all of my friends and family, all of the people who sign my guestbook with so much support. From the bottom of my heart. I am inspired by all of you.
