My DH and I registered today to walk in the Victory In The Valley East Meets West cancer support Walk/Run on June 6th. He'll do the 5K and I'll do the 2K and two of his sisters and some of their kids will be in it too.


I've been in two other Walk/Runs in past years and totally loved it!! Then I had more surgeries and it all came to a stop. I have to use a walker now for long walks, I have one with a seat on it, and I'll be pushing that in the walk. I don't even know yet if I can walk a full mile, but we'll be practicing between now and then. As long as I can do some of it, I will be thankfully happy.


My DH's two sisters are both cancer survivors and will be wearing the scarf and carrying a balloon that will be given to them. Husband and I will be wearing their names on our team signs.  Then we will all do the Celebration Stroll together and the survivors will release their balloons. It will be very joyous and emotional.


So wish me luck please and hope that I make the mile! :-)


The tee shirts are really pretty too. Our's is navy for the West side of town and the East side's is yellow....
