Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure

As I've posted before, my friend Jaime is walking the 3-day in my honor.  It is coming up this weekend and I wanted to give you all the opportunity to know the route, and if it's close to your home, stop by and cheer for the walkers.  Please read all the info and check out the website http://www.the3day.org/site/PageServer?pagename=CH_Spectator for more info.  If you want to contact Jaime directly, or make a last minute contribution, her email is jdeblieck@district158.org

Here is the shirt she is wearing in the walk...

I plan on being at the closing ceremonies to cheer them all on!  It will be emotional, but I hope to draw strength from all the decades long survivors that will be there!
