Help me reach my goal for the Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-Day!                                                                                                                                                   Last Saturday night we hosted our first fundraising event so far this year for our walk in the Breast Cancer 3 Day.  Our Twin Peaks team will be walking 60 miles over 3 days during the Twin Cities 3 Day, August 21st - 23rd.  It's such an incredible experience, and this year my daughter, Lauren, will be walking with me.  Each team member has to raise $2300 to walk.

Lauren just completed her first half marathon - we got to cheer her on throughout the run.  She ran in an event (From The Heart) that was organized to benefit a local family who just recently lost their mom/wife to breast cancer.  It was a wonderful day and a great success.  Over 700 people ran or walked in the half marathon for 5k.  It was also a neat way for the community to show its support to a family in need of caring at such a difficult time.

If you have a chance to particpate or cheer on some walkers during your local 3 Day event, I'd strongly urge you to grab the chance.  It's something that you'll remember for years.

Lynn--I have heard from many that this is a wonderful event and raises so much money for such an important cause. A very good friend was diagonsed this past December and undergoing chemo right now. It is so difficult on her family. Kudos to you and your daughter for participating in this event.

Hi Lynn, I have walked two 3-Day events in San Diego and this year I am helping to fund raise for a few friends and plan to be a "Walker Stalker"! I call the 3 Day my "Three Days of Happy". It is what we wish the world were like every day. It has truly been the most inspiring and humbling experience of my life. It is amazing how many lives have been touched by this disease. Thank you for walking!!
