We Would Walk One Thousand Miles...

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.
We'll keep on walking.  And we'll keep thinking great thoughts for you and the issues you face.  Thanks for walking with us.

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.

How many miles is the walk from Fullerton to Maine?  Terri is enticing us there with great photos of sunsets, like yesterday's beauty.
