Brain cancer is...
...still walking.
The photo, above, shows a piece of sea glass that friend Donna picked up during a stroll on the beach as she was thinking of us. She wanted us to remember how many people are walking with us. What a treasure.Here's an update on the efforts we have been contributing to the team's walking endeavors.
- On December 12 (approximately 6 months ago), Darrell replaced my lost Fit Bit. In those 6 months, Darrell and I have walked 1.8 million steps. That's 822 miles.
- At 736 miles, we had walked the length of Italy.
- In another 170 miles, we will have walked the length of New Zealand.
- In our post of March 19, we shared that we'd be walking with you, thinking all good thoughts for a different member of Team D each day. We've been using the Charity Miles app to earn money for Stand Up to Cancer, reasoning that once we finished walking for Team D members whose lives have been touched by cancer, we'd switch to charities for the other important issues people face.
- Three months after that decision, we are still walking to honor Team D members for whom cancer has been some part of life. That's too much cancer.
PS...Darrell wants you to know that he had to replace my Fit Bit again when I lost it recently on the streets of Chicago.
