So many reasons to walk!

First of all we walk because we need to celebrate the women who have fought the battle against breast cancer and are survivors like Janine, Sally, Auntie Margy, Sandy, Vanna, Jeannie, and so many more.

Second we walk for those who are now fighting like Aurora, Jennifer and maybe someone you know.

And third, sadly, we walk for those who fought valiantly, but were unable to beat breast cancer: Janie Sue, Vinnie, Lois, Gretchen, Rosemary, Pearl, Jenni, Diane, Sheryl, Alice Francis, Marge, Mary.

But, mostly we walk so there will be awareness -- so people will self-test -- and so there will be a cure found with the money we raise that goes towards research.


This month Janine the Queen welcomed a granddaughter -- her first! Her name is Sofia Marie and here she is with her Nonni -- Janine.

Her mom is Janine's oldest daughter Adrienne -- we are walking for her too -- we call her a co-survivor -- children of those who fight cancer are deeply involved with the fight!

We also walk for our other new baby Raegan Grace -- she is the granddaughter of our sister Carole. The child of her oldest son and his wife, Austen and Rachel.

We walk for the next generation!

We walk so our children and grandchildren will be able to read about cancer only in the history books.

We walk because we believe in a world without breast cancer -- we believe that everyone deserves a lifetime.
