A few weeks ago, The Komen North Texas MORE THAN PINK WALK! was postponed. It was to be held May 16th, 2020. (and rescheduled for September 12, 2020) Because May 16th was this past Saturday, Larry and I decided to pack up the Raffle Quilt, put on our Team Believe shirts and walk a 5K in honor of all of the fighters and survivors of breast cancer.
It was raining, and I carried the quilt in a duffel and carried an umbrella.
Larry and I walked the 5K around Bob Woodruff Lake in Plano, Texas. It was cold and wet. We were alone at the lake and no one knew that we were honoring them in a private hike. It was special and overwhelming.
It was gloomy and sad. I missed the other walkers and music. Larry sang I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor for me, but is just was not the same as when there are thousands of us……
I would like to thank Hannah and Heather at Komen. You both do so much and we take much of it for granted. Thank you for being part of this experience for Larry and myself.
If you would like to chance to win the Dream A Dream, North Texas MORE THAN PINK Walk, quilt….please go to the link below. I am selling raffle tickets till the Pinker Than Pink 5K in September. In fact….I think that the quilt will walk the 5K on that date too! (and the raffle drawing will be the day after the 5K , Sept 13th, 2020) The journey continues. Link to quilt information……

Breast cancer has been quite a journey for me and it continues every day. Making a difference, makes it all worth the agony.
Love you beyond the moon.
