Never, never, never...

We are less than one month from the 3Day. And we are still raising money! E-mails have gone out into that great void; requests for publicity have been made; publications have been published (see Casey's previous post). We will continue to raise money until we walk in the event, and we don't plan on "going quietly." We just won't stop!

During yesterday's training walk I noticed early fatigue--"not a good sign," I thought--yet I persisted. Today my mom and I were joshing about me whining in order to get what I want. I simply commented that I just usually don't give up. I'm excited about the 3Day. But I'm also, truth be told, a little nervous about the inevitable...shall we say "discomfort" we will feel after walking even 20 of those 60 miles. I'm nervous about being up to snuff with the thousands of people who are walking because they've lost a loved one to breast cancer (as opposed to me). Heck, I'm nervous about sharing a tent with Casey Duncan! Ultimately, though, I won't give up. I just won't stop. And if I do, there will be thousands of others who do not.
