What's this all about?

When my boyfriend told me his mother has breast cancer, I began a long search for a way to help. When I read about the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, I knew I had to do it.

After months of fundraising, I raised more than $2300 and walked 60 miles in the Chicago 3-Day!

Now, I'm learning to be a runner and just finished my first 5k!

All in all, I am participating in 100 miles of events in order to raise $5000 to find a cure. I've walked 60 miles, run a 5k (3.1 miles), have a half marathon planned for February (13.1 miles) and will end by running a marathon for the cure in April!

Chicago 3-Day for the Cure: 60 miles
Wichita, KS Race for the Cure: 3.1 miles
Breast Cancer Half-Marathon: 13.1 miles
Texas Marathon for the Cure: 26.2 miles
Total miles for a Cure: 102.4
