I can’t believe it’s finally here – the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, 60 Mile Walk for Breast Cancer.

You are probably wondering how a sane person is actually excited about walking 60 miles.

San Diego Event

Everyone knows San Diego for its sunny weather and 70 miles of beautiful beaches. What visitors may not know is the heart of the community.

For over seven years, San Diego has hosted the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure. It is the last city on a year-long event for the 3-Day, 60 Mile Walk that raises money for research on breast cancer.

On November 19, 2010, I participate in my 7th 3-Day Walk, all of them in San Diego.

The support from this city is unmatched.

• There is the father in his yellow smiley pajama bottoms with his daughter, “Little Grin,” handing out smiley pins to walkers
• There are the huge crowds offering candy, stickers, colored beads and handmade pins
• There is the lone, 90-year-old breast cancer survivor, thanking every walker that passes in front of her house
• As the walkers round Balboa Park, a group of 10-year-old girls serenade the walkers with “You are so beautiful”

Many of the walkers come to San Diego for its great weather. They leave with so much more.

Stay Tuned

There will be stories to tell and memories to share, There always is. For now, please pray to the No Blisters gods for me – and my Fight Like A Girl teammates.

Thank you to all my friends and family – and all my contributors who generously donated so I could participate in this great event.

Thank You Contributors
