Susan G Koman 3 Day Walk

So way back in the middle of November (yes people I am just a little behind these days :))I did the Susan G Koman 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer. We walked 60 miles over the course of 3 days and let me tell you, as exhausting as that was, the experience itself completely blew me away. It was such an amazing weekend filled with amazing woman and men, and amazing support for what we were doing. Team Michelle, who is led by none other than my good friend and survivor Michelle, consisted of 35 other women. We were the 2nd largest team there. The walk was in San Diego and the weather couldn't have been better all 3 days. We walked along the ocean for much of the walk. Doesn't get much better than that. Truly an inspiring, humbling, and amazing experience to get to partake in something that is truly helping the world become better. I hope to do this walk again in the future!
