Update!

I managed to walk 15km this morning before my knee cratered.  So disappointed I was unable to finish the walk but so grateful I was able to do 15km (9miles).  Not willing to risk injuring my knee...

1200 participants in Calgary - raised 3million for cancer research.  Pretty impressive!

Weekend to End Breast Cancer - July 25th & 26th, 2009

Tomorrow morning at 7am, I head off on a 60km ( 36miles ) walk around the city of Calgary, with thousands of other individuals, who have all raised a minimum of $2000.00 in support of research for all types of women's cancers.

I lost both of my parents to forms of cancer and my only sibling has also survived a form of cancer.  That just leaves me.  So, I walk to do my part in helping to find a cure.  I walk to save my own life and the lives of those I love.

And I walk as a personal challenge.  I have a total knee replacement in September of 2008.  This is my way of challenging myself and the new titanium knee.

I am certainly nervous...I have high expectations of myself....I have a crowd of encouragers...it's just one foot in front of the other.

I'll let you know how I do...
