My mom for the 2nd year has done the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk. She had to raise at least $2,200.00, and do a lot of training walks to be prepared. She started Friday morning and she just got home tonight. We went to the closing ceremonies which were awesome, and I may consider doing it next year! They raised over 8.2 million dollars and there were 3,200 walkers, 400 volunteer helpers and 75 Breast Cancer Survivors. They all wear these crazy outfits and people hold signs that say "Knockout Knockers", "Yay 4 Boobies", "Save the Hooters" and I'm sure you get the point. It was funny, and my dad was embarrassed by all the "boob" talk.
The walk started at Bellevue Community College (across the street from the Temple) and then ended right next to the Space Needle at Memorial Stadium. They camped out every night at different parks, and had to sleep on the ground in tiny tents. It was amazing to see all these people, women and MEN (who had a team called the Breastie Boys), who walked so we can find a cure for Breast Cancer. Here are some pics of the happenings....
This was right when the walkers entered the Stadium! This went on for a good 30 minutes.
