Nov 2009 SGK 3 Day 1

2009.11.06
The reason for the walk. Maybe some day no one will have to go through this.

A few of the walkers. It looked like more walkers and a much longer line than last year. Maybe the last day we will find out.

Passing through on 15th street in Plano by a beautiful little park.

A slightly different view.

Jana left and Janie right at lunch. Just love the ears. Not.

Mid afternoon on Midway Road heading for camp. Still enough energy to ham it up.

Lost the ears I guess but still clowning around. Son Russ and his wife Annette in the background.

A handshake from a spectator in one of the cheering sections.

Camp, all the comforts of home.

Large gathering tent. This is only part of it but the rest was rather unimpressive. Probably dinner under the tent.

Like I said, all the comforts of home and a pretty pink ceiling to sleep under.

I just liked this one. The walkers passed many flags flying at half staff. Please pray for all.

One year later and it's the Nov. 2009 Susan G Komen 3 day 60 mile walk for the cure. Janie and her bff Jana are making the walk again. This is the first day and they are pretty pumped. I wonder what they will look like the last day. We enter this walk with mixed feelings, joy at being able to help out and sadness at the events at Ft. Hood yesterday. Please pray for the cancer victims, the walkers, the soldiers killed and wounded yesterday, and for their families. God Bless.
