Since tess is pointing people here--here's my other walk info...(i only have $380 for this walk right now as opposed to 3115 for my avon walk..) The Northshore Medical Center Cancer Walk is a 6K walk on June 13th, 2004. I will be walking this in memory of my father(Albert) and Uncle (Edward) who both died on Lung Cancer. Along with 200 other employees of my company and some thousand of Other walkers we WILL be helping the NSMC buy necessary equipment and provide Counseling for the families of those stricken with cancer as well as counseling for those dedicate staff members at NSMC who deal with cancer patients on a daily basis. You can donate online by credit or debit card at the following address: http://www.justgiving.com/PFP/forranteic

Thanks you Nancy for doing this. I recently lost a cousin to this terrible disease, so in his memory I have made a small donation on your Northshore Medical Center site.

Nancy, what a great effort on your part! Way to go! I love the story about the woman out of chemo for just 2 weeks. Your number are amazing too--double the walkers and 4.5 million. I agree with Juju--excellent work over the past 3 years!!

here is an image of me after my 8.5 hours walk on saturday--the pic is off-color--my shirt is PINK as is the ribbon i'm wearing and my face is as red as my hair ...people would randomly get ribboned every 3 minutes on the walk(to signify that every 3 minutes someone is diagnosed with breast cancer(i was ribboned at lunch)
