I was a newlywed and didn't know her well at all. Walking was my way of supporting her and my husband's family. The 3 Day has become a part of who I am. I love and hate it all at the same time.

Last year I walked for my daughter, named in Mom's memory, so she will never have to see her loved ones sticken. This year I walked for me. No, I do not have breast cancer and I am not a survivor.
