Why I walk

In my first blog, I printed a letter my wife wrote after treatment.
I just finished reading it again. I have to admit, during her treatment,
I knew she would be fine and she is today!! What I didn't realize then is that after 2+ years of her being a survivor, I would be planning my 2nd 3-day, 60 mile walk with her.(Cleveand 09',10').
It all started picking her up and being at the closing ceremonies from her walking at he Cleveland 08'.
As she walked in with the rest of the survivors, I had a huge wake up call.
My wife is a breast cancer survivor. She had DCIS. It wan't invasive.
She will be fine. But what if............
Its the what if that got me. Yes my beautiful wife had breast cancer and she is a survivor. I am lucky she is one of the survivors. But what about the others, the ones that can't walk. The ones that are going for treatments now. What pain are they in. Walking 60 miles can not compare.                                  
Last year, I became very involved in fundraising. We talked to a lot of people. There are a tremendous amount of great survivor stories that we heard. But that wasn't all. What about the ones that their journey on life ended. What about the moms and daughters and friends that this awful disease has taken. What about the ones that are struggling now.  1 in 8 are terrible odds. My wife is cancer free and I pray she stays that way.
I signed up with her at the walk last year for Cleveland 10'. We plan on walking and walking until breast cancer is a thing of the past.
How can we just sit there and not do anything. I encourage anyone, (including husbands) to do the wallk. It will change your life.
Yes, REAL MEN DO WEAR PINK!!!
Thanks,
