39.3 .... Okay 37.1

So this past weekend my girlfriend Stacey and I walked the NY Avon Walk for Breast  Cancer.  It was an amazing weekend with emotions that went from smiles to tears and tears to laughter.  It was something I always wanted to do and now I can say that I have and I'm happy I did.
Even with all the blisters and achy muscles every mile was worth it.  I unfortunately didn't make the last 2.2 miles of the first day due to a knot in my calf but found the energy and inspiration to carry on and do the last 13.1 miles the last day.
I admit that this was the single hardest thing I have ever done, but worth it!  I heard so many people say this walk is easier then fighting cancer and now I understand why they say that.  In a few days my muscles won't ache so much and my blisters will go away....some one fighting cancer, breast or otherwise, doesn't have that luxury.  I am greatful for all I have and that I was able to do this walk for my mother, a survivor of breast cancer.  I also want to thank everyone who supported me and contributed to my fundraising....none of this would have been possible without your help!
It was truly an amazing weekend!  XXXOOO
