What a great day for a walk! I walked today in Nashville's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer with 4 of my friends all wearing HWC shirts! What an awesome and humbling experience. If ever you think you are having a bad day you can think of the women that are battling this disease and still out there walking 5 miles!

I walked today for my grandmother, a 10 year survivor!

I did see a few other consultants there with their hats/shirts on but did not get a chance to talk to any of them, there were thousands of people there today!

Here is a pic of my friend Debbie on the left and me on the right, more pics to come!

We particiapted as a local PC team, it was very inspirational! Thousands of walkers that day! So cool to be a part of!
 
That is awesome!! I loved doing our walk too! I just had a show at my house Monday night and did it as a fundraiser because I'm donating all my commission. I'll end up donating a little over $200 from it! That's in addition to the over $700 I already drummed up in donations. Yay!!!

I walked for my grandma and great-grandma who both lost their battles with breast cancer.
