and I am ready!!!!!! I am packed and ready to go. Thanks to everyone of my sponsers who believed in me and have supported my efforts for this amazing journey, I have exceeded my minimum of $2,200. I have a total of $2,425 and it is still climbing every day!!!! I am extremely touched by the support I have received during this entire process. Through the training and even up to hours before the walk begins, I continue to receive encouraging words to keep me believing in myself.
I added ribbons to this lanyard that I was given by my co-workers in support of my 3 day journey.
Each ribbon represents my sponsers who have generously donated in order to allow me to meet my minimum requirement. I printed each of your names and will wear it around my neck for the entire 60 miles. I meant it when I said I will keep each of you with me and close to my heart as I walk to find a cure.
This is truly an emotional and life-changing time for me. Each hour that gets closer, the more emotions surround me. I will be taking TONS of pictures and creating a slideshow so that you all can experience this journey that I am about to embark on!
Thanks again for all of your love and support!
