Day one of 287...I'm at the starting line.

Here I am.  I have committed to walking 60 miles in 3 days, in August, in Michigan....HOT!  I have committed to raising $2300 in order to walk 60 miles in 3 days, in the humid, hot, August Michigan weather.  I have committed to ending breast cancer...to saving boobies, the breasts of my friends, family members, and those of potentially my 6 year old's future wife.  All of those women (and men) are important, deserving, and worth walking 60 miles in 90 degree weather in August. 

What's the problem you ask?  Well, let me tell you.  I am physically overweight, emotionally exhausted, and did I mention to you $2300?  I am a mom (single), a social worker, a daughter, and a friend.  I have historically not been able to stay on the health wagon...I am at my highest weight, I need to lose a lot of pounds to be in a healthy zone.  I want to be a positive role model for my son.  I need to be a positive role model for my son.  I want to be happy.  I need to be happy.

Today is the day.  Today equals change.  Come with me, be with me, support me.  Ups and downs, rights and lefts.  There will be many.  But today is the day.  It has to be.

Today is the last for many, but not for me.  Today is the beginning of a new, exciting, inspirational journey for us all.

I will walk 60 miles in 3 days for all of people that have and will be affected by breast cancer.  Along the way I will prove to myself how AWESOME I am .  I will succeed.

Hope to see you along my path.
