I have formed a team to walk in the San Diego Breast Cancer 3 Day in November 2008. Since this is my 5th year as a survivor I wanted to celebrate by completing the 60 mile walk once again this year. My team members from last year have decided not to walk in San Diego again this year so I have recruited my son's girl friend Jauni and we will be walking together.

One of my walking partners from last year decided to Crew (Volunteer) the San Francisco walk in September since there is no minimum fundraising required when you volunteer. So I have signed up to Crew with her this September in San Francisco Breast Cancer 3 Day.

To help Jauni and I make our minimum required donations for the 3 Day you can visit our fundraising page at http://08.the3day.org/goto/walker4life.

Today friends and family came buy to celebrate my 5 year survivorship.  I was great to have my friends come over for a bbq to celebrate this wonderful occasion.  The kids had a great time playing in the pool and as we all caught up on what has been going on in each others lives.
