My kids, My reason

So I have been wrapped up in the 3-day for almost a year. My kids are one of my reasons for walking, in hopes that they will never have to. My oldest is Jaiden he is 8 yrs. old going on 22! He has supported me in this journey from the beginning, even when I had thought about cutting off all my hair. Since my mom was losing hers during chemo. I had asked him about it randomly after I picked him up from school one day. At the age of 7 said to me,"Mom if you were going to do, it should be for a good reason. And I think that's a very good reason!". He's come with me to do bake sales for last years walk. This year he has come with me to do gift wrapping and asking people to donate to cancer. His grandmother being diagnosed with breast cancer, was a hard lesson to learn so young.

 This child of mine amazes me sometimes. He drives me nuts to the point of wanting to pull my hair out. Then he has these wonderful moments, where he says something so selfless. Last year he said that he wanted to walk with me, which he's unable to do since you have to be at least 16 yrs. old. So this fundraising season we were driving to a gift wrap fundraiser. He said to me, " You know mom even though I can't walk with you, I can still help raise money for a cure for breast cancer!" AMAZING!!

My littlest one Joel, makes me just laugh. This past walk was my first so I was non-stop buying things I needed and had began my obsession with PINK. I also began collecting things that had pink ribbons and Susan G. Komen 3- day packets, etc. So every time Joel saw anything of mine for my walk he would say," For mama walk!". When I was there at the 3 day shop I wanted to get something for my boys. However everything was pink, so I needed something that would be daddy approved. So I found tattoo's, never mind they were pink. I bought them and as soon as Joel saw them he said, "Mama walk".  So now anytime Joel sees anything with the Susan G. Komen logo, he shouts,"Mama walk!".

  I would not be able to do what I do for this great cause if it were not for the unbelievable support I get from my family, friends and supporters.
