TaTa to BREAST CANCER!

In just 25 days I will take on an incredible challenge. On October 23rd-25th , I'll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with me...

I will be walking in The Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. They are working hard to build a future without breast cancer, and I along with so many others pledged to raise $2,300 in order to bring us closer to that goal. Today I am just $182 away from my goal! My team "The TaTa Siserhood" is just 21% away from reaching our goal as a group!

"This is our promise...a world without breast cancer"

With each step I take, I will keep those I am walking in honor and in memory of in my heart, on my mind and on my shirt ( I designed t-shirts for our group to wear that has our honorees names listed on the back). I am walking for these ladies, for the TaTa's that have already gone and for the TaTa's that will be saved! Below is a list of the people I am walking in honor of and in memory of...

I am walking in Memory of: Azzie Leigh Styers- My Great Grandmother
I am walking in Honor of:
Delores Gouge- Grandmother
Jennifer Swanger- Aunt
Virginia Reichert- Ryan's Grandmother
Mary Noland- Close Family Friend
Marsha Jordan- Jessica & Missy's Mother
Oletha Springer- Jessica & Missy's Grandmother
Jane Kamler- Natalie's Mother


Has anyone if your family been affected by breast cancer?
