Here I Go!

Well, I did it. I registered tonight to participate in the Avon Walk next May. I'll be walking 39.3 miles (a marathon and a half) in two days to raise money for breast cancer research, treatment and education. I'm a little intimidated by both the distance and the amount of money I have to raise (a gentle nudge from my friend Melanie pushed me over the line -- you can see why she's a superstar PR woman!). If the support I receive is anything like that my friends and family have given me over the last 18 months in my Weight Watchers journey, both the walk and the fundraising will be a snap. So, for now, wish me luck and check back here as I track my progress over the next eight months.
