Help Support Me in the Avon 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer!

Hey Girls -

So I have officially registered for the 2-Day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in October. I, along with thousands of others, will be walking a marathon and a half over a weekend to help raise money and support for Breast Cancer awareness. I personally will be walking in memory of my late great-aunt Alice who lost her battle against breast cancer in June 2006.

If you can, help support my walk!

Thanks Girls!

I have done this for the past 2 years!!!! It's great. I'm telling you after walking over 20 miles the first day you are exhausted, but it's an amazing feeling! I will be doing it again this year. :) If you need any tips, FM me!!

Thanks! Me and FH's sister are going to be doing, and possibly one other friend of ours. We are actually very excited, even though the thought of walking almost 40 miles makes me so tired LOL

It's AMAZING!! you meet such great people on the walk. I did it alone both times. The second time I wouldn't have made it to the finish line that first day without the women I met. It's sooo much fun!!! You feel AWESOME after you do it too.

My suggestion is to train. Do a lot of long walks to prepare your feet. I didn't train at all the second time, and I was in PAIN that night and the next day.

At the rest stops, rotate between water and gatoraide. They have both. Eat the snacks. CHange your socks at least once during the walk.
