Video: Weekend To End Breast Cancer 60K Walk

By Leanne
Today the fine people at the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation sent me a link to the “Weekend To End Women’s Cancers” orientation video,  which I'm briefly in with my family. It's a long video (and you should maybe get the kleenex ready) but our little part comes in around the six minute mark. The video brings back a lot of memories of the 2-day 60 kilometer walk I participated in last September. It was such an emotional experience (I’m barely holding it together in the video… ditto for my mom) and such a rewarding one – I’ll never forget it.   I am already signed up for the Walk again in the fall and even though I can’t even make it up the stairs right now without losing my breath and coughing, I’m still holding out hope that I will walk it somehow.  I’ve got about five months to get well enough to walk it.  It's like this: Cancer, you don’t say “No” to me, I say “No” to you.  Because you know what they say: when in hell, keep walking.
