About Me

Hello all. This site is still a work in progress, so please hang in there with me while I'm getting it up to speed. ;-)Right now I'm working on pulling all the info together on the 3Day breast cancer walk I'm doing. Periodically I'll be posting articles in my blog section, and you are always free to leave comments there if there's anything you want to share. And also, if you read an article or see information on the site that you don't agree with, let me know that as well. I take pains to pull information from sites I trust, but if your experience has been different, I will include that information as well.Oh, I also created a blog for you to leave the names of your loved ones who have been touched by this disease. The blog is called "I'm Walking in Celebration Of...". This is where you can leave the names of any loved ones that have had breast cancer, and that you want me to walk in memory of, or in celebration of. Their names will go on the back of my t-shirt, so they'll be walking with me. 'Kay?Please, feel free to ask me any questions you might have. So let's do this! :D!!When breast cancer is found early, the five year survival rate is 96%!
