60 miles in 3 days!

In November I will be walking 60 miles in 3 days in support of those who have been affected by breast cancer. No one in my immediate family or group of friends has battled it yet. Statistics say that 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer though so I figure it really is just a matter of time. I pray that there will be a cure for this invasive disease before my kids grow up. I didn't think 60 miles in 3 days was really that big of a deal until Tom put it in perspective by saying, "That is almost a marathon 3 days in a row!" I said, "Yea, but I'm walking not racing!" Then, he said, "It's like walking from our house to Sea World - 3 days in a row. Like walking from our house to Rosarito Beach, Mexico or north to Huntington Beach!" My mom said, "That is like walking from our house (in Johnston) to Tammy's house (in Aiken), walking back to our house and then back to Tammy's house!" Oh and did I mention that I'll be CAMPING at nite. In a PINK tent! Now, you guys know I am not a camper. I don't even sleep well in a hotel. So this is big! I have also agreed to raise $2500 for the honor of walking 60 miles in 3 days.
