Not All Pink

[ladysprite]

Sometimes I work on preparing for the Three Day Walk and it's fun and cute and exciting, and there's pink ribbons and pink paper and collecting raffle prizes and joking about boobs and the anticipation of a personal challenge and the thrill of accomplishment.

Other times it just hits me in the face that I'm doing this because someone I loved died, and it's suddenly not fun or silly or cute or pink anymore. It's still just as important - if not more so - but it's so incredibly, deadly serious, and I can't stop crying.....

I think that is very cool that you are doing the 3 day walk. Several people I know are doing the one in the DC area.

It is not the same, but I had similar thoughts as I worked on (and still do, although not as much) for AIDS related fundraisers. Which I got deeply involved with because my very close friend Billy Cameron died of AIDS.

Thanks for your hard work.

and... SAVE THE BOOBIES!!!!! ;-)
