I am walking in their honor. I walk for their steps that they deserved to take. I walk for their memory. I walk for every woman, for every person who has ever had to fight.
Love LIfe I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2007. My life has not been the same. I am here to tell the story that it is real but through faith, family, and friends God will bring you through. God gave me an second chance. Love life most of all love you.	Hope I was diagnosed with invasive Breast Cancer in August, 2007 and I didn't think I'd make it. I didn't think there was light at the end of my tunnel.
From A Medical Crew Member Working the medical crew was such an honor.	I walk for love I walk in hope
I AM A SURVIVOR OF BREAST CANCER I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER AT 25 YEARS OLD.	I Walk for My Mom My mom just fought breast cancer and that is one of the reasons I am doing the breast cancer walk.
SOY SOBREVIVIENTE DE CANCER DE MAMA ME DIAGNOSTICARON CUANDO TENIA 25 AÑOS	18 year survivor! I walk for a cure! It's been too long and it is time to stand up against this deadly disease!
So Abby won't have to... I do not want my daughter to have to add my name to the list of people fighting the pink fight.	Live In Love I am walking in honor of a very special woman I never got the chance to meet. She is my husbands sister, Georgette Thalab; a wonderful mother of 5 and a loving sister, aunt, daughter and friend. She is their Angel in Heaven.
I Walk For All The Triumphers "...and for their families and loved ones as well."	I Have a Daughter My neighbors all around me have breast cancer, over 5 women. My friend Marion passed away. Next month will be 1yr so I walk in her memory and for my neighborhood of bc survivors.
Future of Boobs! "...it was the most inspirational experience of my life."	I walk because I'm so wonderfully blessed! "...and empowered by them!"
Breast Cancer Survivor I was diagnosed in 2001 with stage 2 agressive breast cancer with high Her2 level.	All for my Big Sis Lisa Roller No blister will stop me, nor rain, wind or heat. She would walk to the ends of the earth for me, so I return the favor and walk for her. I know she can see me from heaven. Lisa is my angel. I lost her in July 2004 at age 41.. Mom is my biggest supporter and fan. Love tons.
We walk for Kathy and for all the courageous chemo warriors living and deceased. My daughter Jennifer and I will walk in memory of her Mom, my wife Kathy, who died of breast cancer earlier this year, after fighting this disease for 22 years.	I walked for my mom ,cousin, friend, children and me. I am more appreciative of things because I have done so!
My Breast Cancer Year When I was 47, I found a large lump on 8/1/07. I immediately had a double mastectomy. Then 15 rounds of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation. I still have to finish my once a week chemo until January '09. After that's done I can finish my breast reconstruction.	To My Mom, You Are My Hero and Inspiration "...I'm happy to say that she is a 10 year cancer survivor!"
WE ALL DID IT! ...EVERYONE should experience this event at least once in your life time.	I AM NOT ALONE I was diagnosed with stage one Breast Cancer in 2003, I lived alone in Nevada at the time and my family was 4 hours away. I was scared and I didn't know how I was going to tell my two grown children or the rest of my family and friends.
The Finish Line I got a stress fracture in my foot and couldn't finish the walk. I was devastated that I couldn't make it to the finish line so I wrote this because I saw so many others that had a hard time with that while I was in the medical tent.	I walk for all the women in my life, in your life, myself. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
I Walked for my Mom My Mom was diagnosed this year with breast cancer. Because of early detection, she is going to be just fine. But I also walked for all women, so early detection is possible.	BECAUSE YOU'RE STRONG WOMEN I walk because I have faith that together, we can do everything, and 40.0 miles is nothing if that's all I can do.
I walk for my sister, Betsy She is the inspiration of my life.	I WALK BECAUSE I FEEL EMPOWERED BY THEM!! I lost my best friend to this horrible disease 8 years ago. She was my inspiration and my mentor. I'm doing these 39.3 miles in her memory. And in support of two other phenomenal women in my life whom are being affected by cancer.
I walk for the future generation! For my 8 year old niece, Keana, and her generation.	We walked for those who couldn't. We walked for those who could no longer walk.
The Power of HOPE My mother, Sandra Jane Brassard is my Hero.	I walk for a cure. I walk for us all.
The Family that CREWS together..... ...I can't think of a better way to celebrate (our love) then FINDING A CURE for BREAST CANCER...	LAY DOWN OR WALK The cancer news & more days than I'd like to count of treatment had me flat on my back; I've realized that I had a choice: feel cursed or blessed - - there is no doubt that it is the later and I choose to walk forward. One day I WILL be a survivor!
I Walk for Life! I walk in support of everyone who has been touched by breast cancer.	I Walk for my Mother....who never complained, who never gave up and who never gave in! I walk because it's important to her, I walk because she did not ask me to, I walk because she is the grandmother of 4 girls, I walk because I can't walk away, I walk to acknowledge my mother's strength and her 11 year survival!
Simply a Wonderful Cause It's a great cause and i know that one day there will be a cure.	We all walked as one 26.2 miles...and....the other two walked 39.3...and...the other team member, the 4th, had a double mastectomy 3 weeks before the walk so she drove around and helped and supported us with a good friend. I felt like I was carrying her the whole time.
Orphaned by Cancer Both my parents were killed by cancer by the time I was 25. It's time to get revenge on this disease!	I'm Walking Because I'm Lucky! Because of early detection...
Walking for the Future I am a 30-year survivor and this time I am walking for Marilyn who walked with me in 2004.	My Strength and Determination I am a 37 year old mother of 4. My motto is Desire to live, Dedication to fight and Determination to conquer. This year my sisters-in-laws and brother-in-law will be walking for the first time for me. I am very proud of them. Luv ya!!!
Why I Walk For my Mom, Sister and all the other Beautiful People suffering from this disease!	FRIENDS THRU TREATMENT My friend and I were diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. Our treatments were at different places but we shared the experiences and encouragment. I lost my friend in February 2008. My walk is for her.
Survivors My mom, karate instructor and two friends of mine all survived breast cancer.	For my Mama who is thousands of miles away.... My boyfriend, Daniel, and I are first time walkers this year. My mom was diagnosed w/ breast cancer in October and she's living in the other side of the world, in the Philippines. This is my way to show my love and support for her...
