One night a few months ago (sometime in the Spring) Cinnamon and Chad were over at our apartment. Actually, I think it was Easter Sunday! Anyway, Cinnamon asked me if I had heard about this event that she had seen an advertisement for - the 3DAY. She mentioned that she was thinking about signing up but hadn't made her final decision yet. Strangely enough, I had recently heard about the 3DAY while listening to the radio in our truck (which is odd because I usually listen to cds) and I too just couldn't get the 3DAY out of my head.
So Cinnamon and I began to talk about the 3DAY. We were both drawn to participate but weren't sure about the training and fund-raising. $2,200 is a lot of money. 60 miles is a lot of walking. But then we realized that was just it! $2,200 IS a lot of money and 60 miles IS a lot of walking - what an incredible opportunity to make a difference!
We decided to take the plunge. Even though we were both nervous about jumping right in, after tons of emails and phone calls to one another we had officially created the WalkyTalkys.
Now, here we are several months later. While our friends and families have gotten passing emails and updates about our progress, in many ways Cinnamon and I have been living and breathing the 3DAY. We have been walking and walking (and talking and talking) and each working to raise $2,200 ($4,400 total). What a wonderful experience it has been! With only 79 days to go until the 3DAY our excitement is only growing. Thanks to everyone for all of the support you have shown us and the money you have donated to change lives. This is truly an amazing experience.
