It's kind of hard to miss thousands of people all of them wearing clothes that say things like, "I miss you, Mommy" or "Breast cancer made me a widow." Or the survivors wearing their loud pink shirts and adding a hugely positive ray of hope on everything around what could otherwise be a very sobering physical challenge.
The Avon 3-day is 60 miles. 20 miles a day. It's way harder than running a marathon because you have to get up and do it all over again, and then do it again... all while sleeping in a tent and enduring the weather, whatever it may be.
Although I know my most loyal reader has already donated to the DonorChoose.org, I thought I might drum Marybeth up some business from some other readers. She needs some cash to meet her fundraising goal. And if you hurry you can order a t-shirt that says, "These Boobs are Made for Walking," that the team is selling as a fundraising endeavor.
If you'd like more info on Marybeth, check out her blog, "In lieu of the Zone."
