Women supporting women – nothing better than that. I have participated in the Relay for Life a few times, but that is a piece of cake compared to a 60-mile walk. Congratulations to all of you!

This has been the most amazing unforgetable experience of my life. The love an the kindeness that I experience in the three days I will never forget. I feel like a different person!
I want to thank Kathleen, Elaine, Chris, and Maura for making me do this I remember telling Maura, I can’t do it because my legs hurt all the time anyway, Maura replied, I did not donate money so you can be a crying baby, you will do it.
Elaine, thank you for the kind comment about the last few hours of our walk. I thought that I was not going to be able to make it, but at mile 10 you said to me, my feet hurt so bad, they can’t hurt more, so from now on, it is all mental. That got me through to the end. Thank you my friends an I love you.

I did the 3-day 60 mile walk 10 years ago when Avon was the sponsor in NYC. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I walked with five other women – one of whom was a survivor. We were called, “Mals Pals” as, you guessed it, the survivor’s name was Mallory. We proudly wore our ‘Mals Pals’ caps each and every day and were greeted all along the journey as such. I am so glad to hear the experience is still as poignant as when I endured it. Congratulations Elaine – it will be something you will remember for the rest of your life!

Unlike Elaine, I’m verbose even when the emotions are still raw. You can read the play-by-play (in more detail than you probably want) of my experiences here:

Congratulations Elaine, and despite your bandages, your toes look very pretty – love that pink nail polish. Such an amazing accomplishment, and on so many levels.

And Cindy, why don’t you start a bike ride for the cure in your town?

Elaine~What a gutsy thing you did. You and all the other women have my utmost admiration. I look forward to hearing more about the walk after you’ve had time to process your experiences.

I am so inspired by women like you. As a person with bilateral hip replacements, I’d never be able to walk this type of event — but wish I could. (I keep hoping for a bike riding marathon for the cure!) And I am not alone when I thank you for doing this for women everywhere.
