And I think I'm a bit sad about it! It was such an amazing day! I am so proud of all of my team who raised over $6,000, who walked today thru the streets of Portland, and who support the cause! Thank you to all of you! I will have a final total of what we raised to the penny very soon!
Paige walked the entire 3 miles, and Patty, my friend who is an ovarian cancer survivor, completed this entire 3 miles!! Kudos to you two women! You both inspire me and make me want to be a better person! I appreciate your friendship.
Being a part of something so large, and something that is for such an amazing cause took my breath away today! I think there were about 3,000 walkers today! Amazing!
Thank you to Bailee and Ethan, who drove all the way from Burlington, Vermont to walk with Paige, and to Paige's parents who were able to come and support her!
I will be in touch with all of you soon to tell you how much you helped raise! Take a look at the new pictures! Thanks again for all your determination!

2 Weeks til Walk Day!
Hello!
What a busy week we've had! Tuesday was the very successful event at O'Naturals! Thanks to everyone who could make it out to support Paige and our team!
I continue to find it amazing the amount of love everyone shows when I explain what I, and all of us on the team are doing to support Paige, and help raise awareness about breast cancer!
Last night some of my family got together at a make your own pizza party, and we raised about $150. there! I even taught my 6 year old cousin, Tristan to say "If you're over 40, get a mammogram!" He thought that was very funny. And of course has no idea what a mammogram is, but will tell you it's a "Mamma, and a Gram!" I will post pictures from the pizza party as soon as I get them!
I'm surprised how quickly time is going by, and I don't have anything else planned at this time to raise any more money. But of course you are welcome to continue giving at our team page, http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY09NewEngland?team_id=321352&pg=team&fr_id=11714
Don't forget to wear your pink proudly this month! And it's not too late to join the walk!!! Contact me for more info, or contact your local American Cancer Society office. www.cancer.org
Thanks again to all of you- without your support none of this would be possible!
