LOVING MY SISTER!!!

So as I sit here on yet again, ANOTHER snow day. I think to myself, about my sister and my niece. At the end of this month they will be moving to San Diego, which is huge for her since she has never lived off the island. Sometimes with great love, comes great sacrifice. Netty, Keane and Ali are going to be SO happy!! She wasn't too happy about her fiance getting assigned to San Diego, we were hoping for Boston. So when I found out I said,"Hey, they have a 3 day walk out there!".
 I am hoping that soon we will find a cure for breast cancer and my thoughts can be of visiting some place new. However, until we find a cure I am hoping someday to do a 3day event with my sister in San Diego.
 I'm sure some of you see this on facebook and give it a read or have somehow come across it online. Either way, your here. Do you have any sisters? Nieces? Granddaughters?  Since, I'm sure your reading this alone I'd like for you to count on your hand or in your head. How many sisters you have, then how many nieces, granddaughters, goddaughters, girlfriends and don't forget your aunts, cousins, grandma's, etc. Now, once you reach your final number know this startling fact 1in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer.
 I have 1 mother, 1 mother in law, 1 sister, 2 sister in laws, 2 nieces, 2 aunts, 2 grandmothers, 3 girl cousins and in this small handful of women 2 of them have had breast cancer. This fight is important to me, so shouldn't it be important to you?!! Please look at your number and tell me isn't it worth fighting for? I will pound my feet to the pavement raising money and training, so that in July I can proudly walk 60 miles!! What will your statement be? If your not able to walk 60 miles, then please consider doing something just as bold DONATE. Even if it's not to me that's fine, but every dollar counts toward funding research. Also, something just a brave...Please, do your monthly selfexams and get your mammograms. Early detection is key!!

  In the end we're crazy about each other and crazy for a cure!!!
 As her big sister it's my job to protect her and I will continue to do so!!
