There is only 6 more days!!!!

Sunday, Sept. 14, 8:45 am Central Park
Run. Walk. Cheer. Pledge. Volunteer. Remember. Celebrate. Survive. Support.

Hello everyone, the walk is this Sunday, Sept 14th and I hope everyone is as excited as I am. I am looking forward to seeing you all and meeting your family members that will be joining us. I will be picking up the team packets at Madison Square Garden on Thursday evening after work. On Sunday Morning when we meet I will give out all t-shirts, bandanas, socks etc.

For all those that are still behind in fundraising don't forget there is still time to reach your goal.

I would personally like to thank the ladies that mailed checks to me. If you would like me to put the person's name on my bib, whether they are a survivor or they have lost their life to breast cancer, please FM me that info.

I will be sending out an email to all walkers so everyone will know where we will be meeting. I will also provide my cellphone # in case someone is running late.

Don't forget to check the website to see how our team is doing.

Once again Congrats on all your hardwork thus far and see you all on Sunday. I will have my camera

The walk ends about 11, depending on how fast we walk, we can definitely look in to a diner in the city to have brunch, I wonder if the other ladies are interested. I won't ask Roger then since Peter is not staying

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS WALKERS!!!!!

I just came in from Madison Square Garden picking up our t-shirts, bibs, programs and our race #'s. I pinned everyone's # to their t-shirt with their name and race participant #. One thing that made me feel really proud was this evening, as I was looking in the program, I saw our Team's name along with companies like Goldman Sachs, Chase Manhattan, Citibank etc. It really made me proud to know that we came together formed a team and is walking for the cause.

I have one request, does anyone have a black/blue sharpie that they can take with them on Sunday?? We need it to write on our bibs in whose memory or whose honor we are walking in.

I look forward to seeing you all. Thanks for deciding to walk with this team, I feel really honored to be walking with women that care enough to try to raise funds and walk so that others will not have to lose loved ones or deal with this devastating disease.

See you all on Sunday

I am still trying to find a place for brunch

For those coming in on the LIRR I will meet you in front of Macy's at the 34th St and 7th avenue side, directly across from H&M, I will FM all of you my cellphone # in case something goes wrong.

Lata ladies.
