Walking the walk

Well it may not be a similar scale, and the essential features are a walk and a fundraiser, not necessarily the moonlight and bra!

Well it can be hard to get a place and signing up takes place in October so see how you feel nearer the time. You could simply tell people about the events - the whole point of the bra thing is to raise awareness and remind people to check for lumps. I don't mind if you want to show my pictures or you could point people to the walk the walk website. There are some amazing survivor's stories on there. Z is right though, a walk and an event are the thing, not necessarily the bras on display. And it doesn't have to 26.2 miles, could be a short route around the town with flags or hats or something.
The second thing my MIL said to me (she did say well done first) was that I should organise something similar for testicular cancer where everyone should carry balls. I thought that came a bit out of the blue, she is an odd woman.

The Relay for Life that they do now (and have done for several years)is normally round and round the track at the high school. Perhaps I should contact the folks who organize it and see if they would be interested in jazzing it up a bit. Like I said, this year they moved it inside the cafeteria and auditorium, which are next to one another, because of rain. I think they do it in the middle of the night, too. Must check them out.

Kelli, I'm pretty sure the post would be very interested in your story, and Deke's.
Why not drop them a line and ask? What you posted in your Journal is pretty much enough unless you want to add more.
