Please take a moment and enjoy a brief walk in the day of a 3-Day participant:
As I walked through the doors of the West Cobb Memorial Library, a wave of anxiety hit like a freight train. You see, I have recently found that it's hard for me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. On top of that, I am not the best morning person and that morning involved a 6:30am alarm.
That morning, however, was different. Today I would swallow back my fear as I stepped throught the door and be brave. I knew that, despite my fears, I had a important job to do. My responsibility was much more than an extra five minutes of sleep. Much more than a few moments of feeling uncomfortable. I was there to start something great. To make a difference. To change lives and fight the battle to end breast cancer.
Sounds impossible doesn't it? That's the same thing I was thinking as I heard the alarm go off that Saturday morning at 6:30am. I made it though...and that means I am one step closer.
Try not to think of it as this huge task, but instead, this wonderful goal that is attainable in little bits and pieces. Henry Ford changed the world by creating mass production. The idea? To take a big task and divide it into little jobs. Brilliant, eh?
Why not take that idea and apply it to this deadly disease? With the 3-Day Walk for the Cure, that is what we are working towards! :)
Since the walk started in 2003, there have been over 94,000 walkers, 4.9 million miles walked, 72 Breast Cancer 3-Days and $295 million donated towards the research for the cure.
Now it's your turn. Help support our team as we walk in this amazing 60 mile life-changing event. As this year's slogan says, "Everyone deserves a lifetime." Now you can help give it to them.
Monday, February 4
What kind of world do you want?
