When I'm not busy breaking up with people...;)
I am preparing to walk a two day marathon and a half (39 miles) walkathon to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer and to raise funds for women who, like me, might have a lot to live for (small children, etc.) and yet not have the money or medical insurance to cover their treatment were they to find themselves with breast cancer.
This is something I've been wanting to do for years, but have been too busy with grad school, etc. to even begin to think about it.
I still have a lot on my plate but I am making time on an almost daily basis to take long walks for up to hours at a stretch and, while it definitely tires me out, it feels really good. It's a good tired. A stretched tired.
In order to do the walk, I have pledged to raise 1,800 dollars, which is a lot of money to me. Unlike many people who do the walk, if I don't manage to raise the money, I can't just put the difference on a credit card. So I am asking everybody I know if they can donate. Any little bit. Even five dollars would be a step for me toward reaching this goal. (I'm not accustomed to asking people randomnly for money. This feels fairly awkward. But every cent of it goes to a very important cause.)
You can donate easily, directly on line, simply by linking to my official Avon Walk personal page.

I hope y'all will check out my page, whether or not you donate! I've been kind of keeping it like a mini journal, weekly updating my process preparing for the walk.
Love.
