On October 10, 2009 I walked 25 miles for breast cancer in NYC. It was the most amazing, terrifying, painful, and emotional experience of my life. My feet are blistery, my back feels like I re-broke it, and my heart hurts for all of the breast cancer survivors, non-survivors, and anybody who took the courage to walk for this cause.
I entered into this walk alone, but at the end of the 25 miles I had met so many amazing individuals that it did not even occur to me that I was walking solo. After this weekend, I am unbelievably exhausted, both mentally and physically, but I can't wait to do this walk next year.
The reason I decided to do this walk was because my Auntie is a victim of breast cancer; she has done the chemo, and had a mastectomy and has survived. She is still fighting it everyday, but she is a survivor and I wanted to walk for her. I also walk for all of the women in the world, whether they are in my family or not. Not only was I walking for my Auntie, but I was walking for my sister; although she does not have breast cancer, she does have cervical.
I decided to walk for anybody in my family who is a sufferer of cancer, whether it was breast or not; I am already in the search for cervical cancer walks, and various others. Many members in my family have been a victim of cancer, and I want to walk for all of them in the future.
Everybody should look into walking for some sort of cause, whether it be cancer, a disease, a benefit, you should support it.
Here is my youtube video of the event:
