Let the Countdown Begin!

The 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure season is underway.  Boston and Chicago have 60 miles under their belts and Michigan kicks off in under 48 hours.

The Twin Cities event begins in a little over a week and there is so much I could tell you, I'm just going to go with bullet points, rapid fire.

• Team Boobs, Sweat & Tears has topped $20,000.00 this year and I am so incredibly proud of each and every person we have called a member of the team since we started on this journey in 2008.  To date we have raised over $60,000.00 in the fight against breast cancer.  
• I had a conference call with my crew team captain and some of the other members of our crew team to discuss last minute details and I'm really looking forward to getting to know this great group of women on event.
• But, I've really struggled with my decision to crew this year, especially with six walkers on my team.  I want to spend 60 miles laughing and crying and generally having a blast with them.
• Another but...but, two of my favorite people have been a balm to my soul, reminding me that while I won't be encouraging the six of them every step of the way, I will be able to encourage each and every walker as they head out onto the route in the morning and return to camp in the evening.  I have very wise teammates.
• The Posing for Pink calendar is amazing, and does it ever deserve a post of its own.  If you want to purchase one you can do so here, or if you're local, let me know and I can meet you and sell you one in person!
• My fundraising goal, even as a crew member was to meet the walker minimum of $2300.00.  While my involvement looks very different this year, this isn't any less important to me.  If you want to help support me, big or small, you can do so here.  Every dollar makes a difference.
• I need to start packing this weekend because these next few days are going to fly by and crew day is going to be here before I know it.
• I'm hoping to be able to tweet while I'm on event and my plan is to get a list up of all of the walkers that I know will be tweeting during their 3-Day journey so you can follow them too.

Lots to do before my favorite 3 days of the year!
