Wanderlust Sunday: Everyone Deserves a Lifetime
travesty of getting "Ma'amed". On that first trip, we engaged in an imaginary dance-off against the younger girls. This year's idea is to take a long, long walk for them.
It would be for all women, really — We'd like to walk a Susan G. Komen 3-Day to raise funds towards finding a breast cancer cure.
Three days. Sixty miles. A journey out of the everyday.
"Say what?" That's my feet talking. They're telling the rest of me to be realistic about how much no-kidding-around work it would take for someone in my shape to take a challenge like that on.
"But look at all the other people with that kind of moxie!" my head argues back. Since the 3-Day Walk's inception in 2003, participants have raised more than $400 million for the cause.
There are other reasons it may make more sense for my group of friends to tackle this another year. But I wanted to share the info regardless of our plans. It's a good highlight for Wanderlust Sunday — Fifteen exciting US cities will host 3-Day For the Cure walks throughout the year.
"Everyone Deserves a Lifetime" is the rallying cry for this event. Even if my own group isn't able to travel to walk a 3-Day this year, I whole heartedly applaud those who do.

I'm in. Whenever. Wherever.

Good for you! That's incredibly inspirational.
I've been meaning to do the Alzheimer's Walk here in Seattle. Maybe this is the year I get off my ass...

I've looked into doing this. I wish the fund raising amount was lower. I live in a small town but had considered travelling to Chiago to do this walk with a friend. Honestly though, I don't think we could raise the required amount. We settled on the local Relay For Life walk instead.
