With all the attention Angelina Jolie has brought to this topic I thought it timely to share the story about my first Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk experience with you through a series of blogs.
This is the first blog in my series, which is the short version of my first 3-Day Walk from 2007!
This was one of the most amazing things I have ever participated in! There were so many wonderful memories made over the 3 days we spent walking around the Twin Cities. More than 2,500 walkers participated in the 2007 Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-day walk. It began in the early morning on Friday, August 24th at Anoka-Ramsey Com-munity College in Coon Rapids, wound through the northern suburbs and many St. Paul neighborhoods before heading into Minneapolis on Sunday where everyone would finish at Boom Island Park later that afternoon. The entire route covered 60 miles.
Day One kicked off after the emotional Opening Ceremonies, we began our exciting journey and were greeted immediately by the first of many groups of supporters – as a young family decked out in all pink cheered us on from their front yard. Pit Stop 1 kept things lively with their circus theme, complete with clowns! At our much-deserved lunch break, we were entertained by a fantastic group of Irish Celtic dancers. And then it was back on the road – continuing along the beautiful route and enjoying some amazing scenery and incredible community support.
