Last weekend I walked 60km with my Dad and Aunt in support of ending Women's' Cancers. We walked 35km on Saturday and 25km on Sunday...for those of you familiar with the Calgary area, that is like walking from Priddis to the Calgary Airport! The event was fantastic and we were lucky enough to get weather to match.
Thank you to everyone who donated to the cause...there were 1114 walkers and together we managed to raise $2.7 million! One of my mom's friends (she was the captain of our team and the crew chief for lunch everyday) is a direct recipient of the money in the form of a cancer fighting drug that would not be available to her if this money could not be raised - so once again, a BIG thank you to everyone who was generous enough to donate on my behalf.
It was a true family event! My mom volunteered and was there to serve us lunch both days...and Scott and Megan came to cheer us on on Sunday.
Needless to say, walking 60km in one weekend can be pretty hard on your feet. My Aunt only had a couple of small blisters and some hot spots, but still had feet that resembled a mummy. And that was nothing compared to the look of some feet! I was surprised some of them could even stand let alone walk!
