The Janis Warren Walk For Ovarian Cancer is an event in West Bloomfield, MI which took place on September 21, 2008. This first time event raised over $50,000 to help research a cure through the Karmanos Cancer Institute in their fight to stop Ovarian cancer. We hope to raise awareness and to continue this successful event on annual basis. This walk is named in memory of Janis Warren who sadly lost her battle in April of 2007.

I wanted to participate in the 3 day walk for the Susan G Komen Foundation so support research for breast cancer but there is no way that I would be able to raise $2,300. I tried to find a few others but they also require you to fundraise over a thousand dollars just to participate.
Does anyone know of similar walks that are in Chicagoland that are less expensive?

I am thinking about registering to be a participant in my local 3-day Susan G. Komen Walk for a Cure. If you are not familiar it is a 60 mile walk in 3 days to raise money for breast cancer. They have one in my county every year and am thinking about participating next year. I have less than a year to train, and am pretty out of shape. It is the end of October and the walk is in August of 2009. Any suggestions for training and advice from prior participants, etc. Thanks.
I’m a 3 time 3 day walker. I’m considering doing it in ’09 but I’m not sure yet. It’s really a wonderful experience and don’t let being out of shape deter you. A year is PLENTY of time to train. To be honest, I didn’t train for the last two I did and was able to finish just fine. I’ve stepped foot in a gym, although I am active. A lot of problems come from foot care – having properly fitting shoes, treating blisters. Also hydration and stretching are of upmost importance. At the end of the day you’re gonna feel 20 miles regardless of rather you trained or not. Get into the habit of walking and getting more active, which is good advice no matter what your future plans are. In the few months and weeks before the walk you need to get some long 10 and 20 mile training walks in so you can determine how your body responds and what problems you may encounter (shin splints, arch problems, ingrown nails, etc.) The 3 Day walk organizers are very supportive and there are often training walks scheduled in your area. It helps to join a team too.
As far as fundraising goes, I would register soon so that you have ample time to fundraise.
Good luck! I’d be happy to answer any other questions!
