Fundraiser at Sam's Club with an unexpected Surprise!

Today we had a fundraiser at Sam's Club. And we were talking with the manager and she said you we have not spent all of our matching funds for donations this year, so everything you make here we are going to match. It was just with me and my friend from my team. We set up at 9:30 this morning. And we found out that Donuts and a hot morning do not mix. They did not sell at all. We both cried but with out telling the other until later when the hot dogs went on the grill and hunger struck the shoppers. We made $832.00 today. And Sam's Club is going to match that. We have both reached our minimum. Now we can focus on training and getting ready for this walk.

Tomorrow I am going to go to Dick's Sporting Goods and buy a pair of walking sandals. I am getting ready to lose one of my toe nails from a 20 mile walk I took last weekend. I am desperate to find something that will help keep my feet blister free and also keep all my toe nails.

Our co captain leaves for Boston to walk in the 3 Day there. I wish her the best of luck on her journey.

That is all for now. Walk Strong and hope a cure will be found soon!

Keep Walking

This past Saturday I and about 14 other women from Feet Forward for a Cure took a 20 mile walk along the hills of Parvin Road. Now these hills are relentless and give no mercy. It took me about 8 hours with all the stops that we took. Those 8 hours include taking pictures with hot looking fire men…yes we raided their house because some of the ladies could not wait to the next pit stop for a bathroom break, and we took a bunch of pictures which will be sent out in email when we all get them developed or downloaded from our cameras. And then we had lunch and joked around a little longer than we should have, but who cares. And that was the walk. It was a lot of fun, and those hills have a lasting impression for ever in the back of my mind that I will not too soon forget, like a boil on my butt!!

Another update

This is the letter that I just wrote all the ones who have helped my on my Journey though the SusaG. Komen Breast Cancer walk. I am so excited about this event.



Hello every one!

I can not believe that the walk is so close now. I am getting very nervous but so excited at the same time. It is so hard to explain how I feel. It seems the only ones that know how I feel now are the ones that are walking with me. My stomach has butterflies and when I think about the walk I do not know whether to laugh or cry. I have come so far.

This Saturday the 22nd I will be taking my biggest walk yet. I with my team will be walking a 20 mile walk. This is going to be an eye opener for what is to come. I have got some new inserts to go into my shoes to help with my heel pain. I guess that pain is all part of the sacrifice. And it is so worth it.

On these long walks I have to remind myself why I walk. This is something that is so important. With my mother being a 2 time survivor and my inspiration, it is my duty to walk, and my daughter Hannah; oh my beautiful girl; I do not want her to know a world with breast cancer.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me on this journey. I am now $700 away from my goal. But that is still $700 away. And here comes that hard part. I tell you it is easier to get milk from a bull than it is to ask for donations. For me any way, but if you know of any one who has been affected by cancer or would just like to be apart of something greater than themselves. Please tell them about me, and my walk. I walk for every one who can't. And who knows maybe I walk for them. Please send them to www.deborahrock.com where they can make a tax deductible donation.

Thank you all so very much.

Walk Strong... and keep the spirit high, we will find a cure!

With love and hugs,

Deborah Rock
