Why?

The question I get most when I mention that I am participating in the Susan G Komen 3-day is why? I thought it would be a good place to start in documenting my training, etc.

My paternal grandmother suffered from breast cancer, and it was ultimately the cause of her death, which is reason enough to participate, however not the only reason I'm doing this. Aside from how this disease has affected my family this is an amazing cause that brings together some amazing women and I wanted to be a part of that. Also, as those of you who know me well may know, I am out of shape and generally pretty lazy. This is a great way to jump start my exercise routine and force me to get in shape.

Although some of my reasons for doing this may be a bit selfish, I am proud of myself for doing this and am going to stick with it.
