Holy Cow! Sandy, Katie's mom (who by the way is a lovely 60 years of age!), walked the entire way, 60 miles and all around camp too, with crazy blisters, sore aching body and determination like I've not seen in a long time. She was bound and determined to make it and she sacrificed a lot! Tons of training, tons of fund raising (she was our top fundraiser). Going from NO walking to staying faithful to her training regime. And she did it.
Well done Sandy I am so amazed and proud of what you accomplished! I'll never forget the sight of you...walking "one foot in front of the other" "one step at a time" "one more step". You did it!!!
Sandy had a shawl that held on individual ribbons (attached by her own hand right up until the day we did the walk) the names of people who donated, people who lost the battle to cancer (breast or other) and survivors and others people requested she walk for. It was a highlight to so many people. Never to be forgotten. So many people asked about it and said they would always remember it. Nice!
One of the small hills we walked....San Francisco has a ridiculous amount of hills. We went up, then down...that was nice...until we realized that if you go down...you just have to go up again! But we did it. And I only stopped half way up one hill to breathe. The rest I did without having to stop. Pretty amazing!
