Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk- Boston 2009

Well it is that time of year again. I just signed up for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boston and I am sure excited. It is a 6 mile walk through downtown Boston to raise funds for breast cancer research. This cause is near and dear to my heart. As many of you know, Todd's Mother, Kathy Colvin passed away in June 2007 after a long battle with breast cancer. It only seems fitting that I participate in this walk in her honor. We miss her so.

Last year was my first year participating. My friend Linda invited me to go along with a bunch of her friends. It was an amazing experience. Thousands upon thousands (approx 38,000) of people converged upon downtown Boston to raise funds. There were people from all walks of life, with so many different experiences that made this cause personal to them. There were cancer patients, survivors, and so many others who had been touched by breast cancer in one way or another. The mood was uplifting, even empowering, as so many different people from all walks of life, came together for a common cause. And last year the Boston Walk raised $3.4 Million. Amazing, what the so many people can do together on one day, isn't it?

So, if you have a dollar or two that you care to donate in support of this walk, please click on the link on the right side of this page, and you will be directed to the official website. And, if you are not in a position to donate, please just say a prayer for all of the people fighting this horrible disease. Thank you.
