Training update Saturday
Today we walked 12 miles of absolute boredom in Augusta
County. We managed to find a very boring route. The
highlight was five Mennonite ladies who passed us on bikes.
Otherwise, some beautiful horses, dandelions, and a cow
painted on a barn. Enjoy! |

Tomorrow is our last official training day
and next weekend the real event happens. I think we’re all
beginning to get excited. Finally, a payoff for all the
work!
I’m also very proud to announce that we
reached a team goal of $10,000! That’s $2,800 more
than we pledged. Thank all of you so very much for helping
us reach this goal.

If you want to watch us finish the walk next
week and join us in the closing ceremonies,
everything takes place at the Kennedy Center in D.C. Our
group “should” finish the second day (Sunday 6th
around 1-1:30. Then everyone who has finished welcomes the
remaining walkers.
The closing ceremony starts at 3:30 and if you haven’t
experience an Avon ceremony, you really should
come. It is emotional, humorous and filled with good
will. We'll be the ones wearing the "Team Flohr" shirts and
lying on the ground!
Until
tomorrow, with love, Anne

Hopefully you remember what I wrote to you a few months ago:
I
am walking for my friend Karla who had a courageous fight
with breast cancer last year and has, hopefully, won.
|
|
|
| |
"I
am walking in the memory of the women who died fighting. I
am walking in honor of the women who are still fighting.
I am walking in the hope that someday there will be a cure.”
I
will have Karla’s name on my shirt as I walk and the names
of others in my pocket. I will also have my sister Bette's
name on my shirt, -know that I love you deeply.
If you would like me to add the name
of an individual who is a survivor of breast cancer to my
list, or if you have someone you would like me to walk in
memory of, please send me the names.
Again, thanks SO MUCH for your support in every way.
I’ll be thinking of you as I walk. I’ll tell you all about
it when I return. You are wonderful people. I love you.
