I just got back from cheering at a cheer station at the Breast Cancer 3-Day in Dallas. Those women (and a few men) walked from Fort Worth all the way to SMU in Dallas. That is 60 miles!!! I just went and cheered on the corner of Greenville and something else. We were right down the street from the Granada theater and across the street from Corner Market (the best sandwiches in town according to D Magazine) for anyone who knows Dallas. Seeing all those women and all that pink and those people who have gone through so much really touched me. My aunt had a breast cancer scare last Christmas, but luckily it was only a scare. I can't imagine what I would do if she were seriously affected by breast cancer.
I got the title of this blog from some women wearing t-shirts with 2 baseballs on them and read "Saved 2nd Base". There was a man walking whose shirt read "I heart Boobs" - just like the I heart NY shirts. There were some very funny shirts and sayings. My cheer station was chanting, "Don't rest, save those breasts!!" There was one elderly man who came up to me and my friends and said, "You know, we are doing this for you." That really got to me. I was so humbled by the whole experience. I can't wait until next year when we do this again. Eventually, I would like to walk in it myself, but I need to come up with the money. Maybe it will happen in 10 years.
Talk Later,
