31st Avon Women´s Run_10 May 2014

Today is the day. I am participating in the Avon Women´s Run in Berlin....well I am nordic walking 5K! REally can not see myself running that far, but the walking I can do. The picture I am posting to Pink Saturday today is of my t-shirt, how fitting that it is pink!





This 5K Nordic Walk is for all the women in my life who have fought their own cancer fight. Here´s to:

  • Carol, Michele´s Mom who bravely batteled ovarian cancer. I miss her and think of her often.
  • Martina, who fought brain cancer with all her might till the very end. She guided me through my travel agency training years in Cloppenburg.
  • Kim, who batteled breast cancer and won!
  • Sabine, who did not let breast cancer surgery stop her from celebrating thanksgiving with us last year(she convinced the surgeon to let her leave the hospital for a few hours(drainage bags and all!) I look forward to many more thanksgivings with her!
  • Tante Anneliese(my aunt), who did not let breast cancer surgery stop her from traveling to germany to spend time with us. She too is a survivor.
  • Martha, a survior and 10K power walker today
  • Lily....a little girl that thanks to social media has become a part of my life. She is now 300 days cancer free! You can follow her miracle story  at http://teamlillybumpus.com/



THis day is for all of you! You are all in my heart today and every day  and even though the weather is far from perfect, this will be a good day!
