Karen, Erik and Jack

I bet you thought I was pregnant, didn’t you?

Nope!

Instead, my news is that I’m going to ask you to again open up your wallets, purses and manbags in support of boobies, because I’ve decided to participate again in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. This year, I’ll be walking November 7-9th in the Dallas/Fort Worth event.
Longtime readers coming from my former blog, FNUR FNUR know that I did the 3-Day in 2006, two weeks before my wedding. Longtime readers also know that before my wedding, I was an idiot. (Now I am a married idiot). But I did raise over $2,300 for breast cancer research, education, prevention and treatment for men and women all over the world. It was an honest-to-goodness life-changing experience, and I still get choked up talking about it.

This year, I have a few things going for me that I did not have the first time. 1) I have one under my belt so I know what to expect. 2) I’m not getting married or participating in any other incredibly stressful/wonderful/intensive event any time near the 3-Day. And 3) Pizza is going to be walking with me! This is her first time doing the 3-Day, and I’m so excited that I can share this experience with her.

Of course, I’ll be posting updates on training, fundraising, blisters, random thoughts that occurred to us while walking, and desperate pleads to Dana to help me figure out why my knee is doing something weird.

Meanwhile, I ask you to dig deep into your Jack Bauer manbags and donate to show your support of breastesess. Whether you have them or just like to cop a feel, please support the fight to protect them. At the current rate of the disease, ten million women across the world could die from breast cancer in the next 25 years. Through funding and awareness, we can increase the number of survivors and eventually FIND A CURE. Thank you all so much for your support – whatever you can give is VERY appreciated.

DONATE NOW!
