By now you know there's little I won't do to help advance a cure for breast cancer. I just completed a rigorous and invigorating five day course called Project LEAD, conducted by the NBCC, which I'll write about soon.

Of all the things I have done, I've always wanted to do something physical and challenging, not just the National Race for the Cure. I started looking into the various walks and thought about doing one, but it was always something that took a priority over clearing my life for such a big commitment. The idea of a multi-day walk seems doable on paper. I can walk the distance, just don't ask me to run it.

Living in Washington, DC , we often are lucky to get many events through our city. A few years ago, we even had the choice of two breast cancer walks, one to benefit and one for Komen. For some reason, Susan G. Komen for the Cure pulled their 3 day event after the first year, much to the dismay of many of us.

I'm so excited to share that Komen has reconsidered and is now returning the Breast Cancer 3 Day to Washington, DC in October, 2008. I'm so thrilled that I'm signing up and participating!

I was encouraged to learn that although it's a 3 day walk of 20 miles a day, there is so much support by the company that stages the event. There is training, a single site for sleeping and eating and lots of pre-event interaction. I can't wait to experience it first hand.

Who will join me??
