Entry Title: “Susan G Komen Walk for the Cure 3 Day Event”
Entry:
“Amazing Inspiring Rewarding Grueling Difficult Emotional Hilarious There are too many adjectives and too many emotions to describe the indescribable 3 day adventure. Laughter and tears are both part of this journey. I drove to Sacramento on Thursday night to spend the night with Bo and was in bed by 10:15… something I never do but found myself exhausted. I’d made a mistake by requesting a day of wine tasting on Tuesday with Pele and did it on an empty tummy. That night’s supper didn’t stay with me and in the morning, I awoke with intestinal distress and started my Wednesday with 3 Imodium. I only mention this as it’s a precursor of things to come. I had set myself up for dehydration. Friday, Bo and I arrived in SF in the hotel lobby at exactly the same time as Sunny and after checking in, the 3 of went to dinner. We were back and in bed at shortly after 10pm with a 3:30 alarm clock set. I also got a 4:30 wake up call from Twyla but by then, we were dressed, eating breakfast and ready to board the 4:45 bus taking us to the Cow Palace for the event opening ceremony. We arrived in the dark to what started and ended as the most organized event I’ve ever participated in. We took our luggage to a bus that was marked with our tent row D for us to pick up at camp that night. Immediately, we noticed all of the joy and costumes and festivities happening around us. As newbies, we felt somewhat under-dressed. Bo and I quickly said yes to temporary “pink ribbon” tatto’s for our faces. Around us were butterflies, sparkles, flowers, bees, lot’s of boobies and across the parking lot, I saw a man dressed as an angel. Somewhere over the rainbow was playing and I called over my shoulder to Sunny and Bo that I’d be back. Without asking permission, I took his hand and wrapped my arm around him and began dancing and yes, he joined me. It was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up; dancing with an angel to “Somewhere over the rainbow”. Opening ceremonies began and the keynote speaker was phenomenal. A realization struck me. I had signed up for this walk mostly for my own health as motivation. The truth that it touched Wendy and Micky and Fruit and Renee was part of the deciding factor of this walk versus any other walk. As I stood there listening and the survivors all came out and formed a circle, tears began to well up. Suddenly, I was in something that was so much bigger than me and my health and my friends. My teammates had similar experiences. And the walk begins… We marched out and our badges were bar scanned and about 2500 people were off and walking. Friday’s walk was listed as 20.4 miles. (we grew to call these Komen miles as a few personal pedometers marked them at 24 miles that first day). There were pit stops and cheering stations all along the route as well as a lunch break and medics. The pick up or sweep vans were on the alert for any distressed walker and were brightly decorated and some of our greatest cheerleaders. As they drove along the route, they would tap the horn and wave and cheer. I can’t even tell you how encouraging that was when traffic was all cheering for us and clapping and holding up signs of support and thanks. We totally fell in love with 2 men, father and son, with pink pom pom’s on their shoes that met us at least 5 times that first day. Each time we saw them, their energy was fresh and new as if we were the very first walkers they saw that day. Love flowed from them directly into my heart. They came out all three days! We were also tickled by a car and a van that traveled with us all decorated with “Hookers for Hooters” slogans. These costumed gals would pull of the road …”
