Win? You most definitely did win! I don't care what the final totals are, you are #1 here. You raised a lot of money for a great cause. You've fought, and won, against cancer. You can only ever be a winner in my book.

I'm also a cancer survivor (testicular, 3 years cancer free). It changed my life forever and I love to see threads like this. You did an EXCELLENT job and someone will benefit from it.

No, No, No. You were in no way begging. Please, don't think that way. I actually enjoyed reading this thread and following you as you prepared for the walk. Believe it or not, it brightened my day. Even if you don't do the full on money collection, please don't stop posting about the experience. I can't speak for others, but seeing the photos and videos from the event is something I want to see every year.

Thank you John.
Honestly, I am proud of what I raised and of all of you for helping me. I raised more than my goal and I thought my goal was pretty lofty. I AM A WINNER all the way around and so are the 75+ women who will be getting maamograms thanks to you all!!!
I PROMISE to post about next years race too, I'll just be a little more low key about it.

Hugs and a little friendly kiss on the cheek from One survivor to another



OUCHIE!!! Four tired gals with aching tooties after the race..... Still smiling and VERY HAPPY though

Are you kidding, Jo? Please ... make all the "noise" you want! I might even (fair warning) drive up there and join you next year! This survivor of a different kind would be honored to sweat with ya.

Overall I have fallen to 4th place in the fundraiser 'standings' but that's okay. I NEVER would have ever been in in the running ever if it wasn't for you guys. I love you all no matter what place I end up in. Like I said before, I am STILL a WINNER!!!!


You guys have been so good to me. What else can I say but... THANK YOU a million times over.


John ~ I was just thinking ~ Maybe next year we can get a Rennlist group together to walk with me Here is a picture of a WONDERFUL new friend of ours who walks every year with his wife. He goes all out. I'm thinking more three miles of men tee shirts for anyone who wants to walk ANYWAY, He and Robert shared some tears at this years PCA Escape (to the Ozarks) last weekend when they met up for the first time. It was so touching and healing. Living proof that those on the 'other side' of bc need healing too....

My team is now not in first place. Darn.... Team Windstream (huge team) is leading us by almost 300.00 and that is so close. We only have till the 20th to make the 300.00+ to clearly be in first.... Can you help my team try be Number 1? I know I (as an individual) can't get to 1st or even 2nd place this year, (1st is at almost 19grand, second is at 14,500 I am at 11,300.00) but I might be able to help my team in the next two days.

This fundraising thing is like begging and I really do not like to do that even if the cause is so close to my heart....
