The walk is over - the quest for 100 has just begun

View a slideshow from the Denver Walk for the Cure

There are six slides. Nancy is #5. Her usual brillant smile, yet look closely and you will see the tears of joy as she hugs fellow survivors in the closing moments on the podium.

As the representative of Survivors in Denver, Nancy delivered a moving speech on Saturday night (well sundown was late on those days!). The speech and many other scenes were captured on our flips! We promise to post ASAP - probably Tuesday September 7. Here is a link to the Denver Post slideshow from an article about the walk posted August 31.

Now that the 3Day walk is over -- its time for the challenge to be made. In her speech, Nancy challenged everyone to do what she is doing - -
Ask 100 women if they are up to date on their mammogram. Beg those who are not current on their mammogram to schedule and go to a mammogram appointment. If insurance is the reason NOT TO -- that is not good enough, and if you have any cancer anywhere in your family - let them know you are in a high risk category according to insurance companies. And the insurance companies will pay for mammograms for any age person in a high risk category.
