Kathy’s Story

"Speedy" Ran off and Left Us!
I met D’Lyn and Team Tiara the morning of the first day. We were connected through our sisters. The team was warm and welcoming. The experience of the 3-Day walk was made richer for me by being with them and hearing their stories. I finished the walk and immediately signed up again even though I was in slippers and had blisters all over my feet.
Cancer has touched my family in many ways. My paternal grandmother, my father, my sister’s best friend, all have had cancer. My mother’s best friend is a breast cancer survivor. My boys never got to meet their paternal grandmother because she died of breast cancer when their father was 18. I saw the effect the loss of a mother can have on a young man. I had a personal scare with breast cancer three weeks after finishing the 3-Day last year. I have experienced where and how the money we raise is spent.
