The Boobie Brigade is off and... walking?

And a Team is born...

I've officially created the Boobie Brigade for the 2011 Susan G. Komen 3 Days for the Cure walk/run in Atlanta in October. Wanna join? Come on! Wanna donate? PLEASE DO!

Here's the deal - I have until October 21st to raise $2300 AND train to walk 20 miles per day for 3 days. Yes. 60 miles in 3 days. You can join my team and/or donate to me by using the links in this post or visiting my page on Facebook (which will just take you right back to the Susan G Komen sight.) You can search for my name, Jennifer Prince, to make a donation. Or search for my team, Boobie Bridage, to join in the fun. Each team member will be responsible for raising $2300 before the walk.

Does 60 miles in 3 days sound like too much? Sounds like a lot to me as well. Good news! They have vans/buses/some sort of wheeled contraptions that can pick us up along the way if we just can't go any further.

So why do I plan to do this? Well, there's a lot of breast cancer out there. Several in my family have already been diagnosed and treated. And I have 4 sisters, a step daughter, and a niece. We need to cure this before it goes any further. Huge strides have already been made in early diagnosis and treatment. It's no longer a death sentence, and my family is, thankfully, living proof. Let's take it a step further. Help me raise the money - donate whatever you can afford, and we'll do all we can to cover ALL SIXTY MILES in THREE days!

Please help. There are several things you can do to make a difference. Share a link to this blog, my Facebook page, or the Susan G. Komen 3 Day site. Donate. Anything helps. Join the team and raise $2300 to contribute. Have any thoughts or ideas to share for fundraising, etc? Just let me know with a comment here!

Thanks again. Will update soon!
