Why I Walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day by Christy Multz

I do not walk because my Mom or Grandma had breast cancer, I don’y walk because I’ve had breast cancer.  I have no brothers or sisters that would have breast cancer, I am an only child.  I walk for my sisters in the world that are fighting every day to stay alive for their families.  I have seen 2 of my friends diagnosed and SURVIVE after losing their mothers to breast cancer. Those 2 friends have daughters and sons that will forever be on the lookout for an awful disease to invade their bodies.  I walk for at least 10 other people in my life that have been touched by breast cancer. I walk for my 2 daughters.  So that they may never know the fear of breast cancer.

I walk for Charlotte, a survivor.  She is a mother, wife and my dearest friend.  I walk because I was not with her to hold her hand when she was diagnosed or when she went for her double mastectomy.  I was not there when she went through rounds of chemotherapy.  In my busy life, I did not make time out to be with her.  I left it up to her family and friends that lived close to her.  So I fight for her in a different way.  I walk 60 miles with blisters and pains.  Nothing compared to losing your breasts or your life.

I walk for anyone who can’t.  When I am at my 18th mileof the day, and tired, I think of how many women are sitting in a chair, nauseous from their treatments, fighting for their lives.  If I can walk and help just one of those women, it’s worth it.
