The Susan G. Koman Walk for the Cure is a huge event. The purpose of this walk is to raise money for breast cancer : treatment, bills, and the CURE. My family has the breast cancer disease in our family so we walk for hope, for love, and for purpose. Cancer is one of those tricky diseases it doesn't have a certain age group, race, or even gender. It effects us all. The survivors are mothers, wives, sisters, friends, anyone so it affects everyone in the family from youngest to oldest we are all touched. I have been to walks since I was 5 and all for my great grandma and my grandma. I have dealt with them having this illness since I was as young as two and am still dealing while they are fighting.

This walk on October 16, 2016 was to mark her 15th year battling this demon. As we conquered mile after mile getting to the finish line was a teary moment. For fear that she wouldn't be able to make it this year she thanked God she made it. A simple three-mile walk surrounded by your family, friends, and strangers means a great deal to her.

Everyone has their reasons to walk. Some walk for the cure, some walk to celebrate surviving, some for support, mine is different. I walk so I won't have to walk " in memory of" i walk while i have the one I love here. She is my living guardian angel and I appreciate god letting me keep her. I thank god everyday that he lets me keep borrowing his angel and hope he isn't in need anytime soon shes needed here with me. I love being able to walk and support her and so I walk and I will continue to walk even when she cant

PSA: This year was no different so if anyone is touched and wants to make someone happy come to the walk out Hunt Valley October 23 and walk with us.
