My first post!

Welcome to my 3-Day blog!  I am so excited to be participating in my my first Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure event.  This event helps to raise money for breast caner research and promotes awareness throughout the world.  To participate in this event, I will be fundraising, training, and promoting the cause!

I will be the first to tell you that I am not a blogger or writer by trade.  I ask that you forgive any errors or misspellings that you see throughout my posts.  However, my main reason for blogging is to keep my family and friends updated as to what's going on and to share my story.

As stated above, I chose to walk in honor/memory of my Mom, my Mawmaw, and all the women, past and present, of the Woman to Woman Breast Cancer Support Group (founded by my very own Momma).  This year, my Mom will celebrate 25 years of being breast cancer free!!  I hope that my journey inspires and encourages you as I spread my Mother's message of breast cancer awareness and "that there is still life after breast cancer." 

I would like to take a moment and thank you all for following my blog.  Throughout this journey I will need each and everyone of you!  Your prayers, support, donations, love, and encouragement would be greatly appreciated.  If you are a supporter of the cause, please share my blog and emails with your friends, family, or any businesses that might be willing to help support me.  Most of all, thank you for taking this journey with me! 

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Philippians 4:13
