oh yeah baby

We did it!

We walked sixty miles in three days with almost 4,000 other people. As a group of walkers, we raised $9.5 million dollars for breast cancer research, education and treatment. Over the next few days, I hope to post a few of the 350 photographs I took during that time, but for now, I'll give you this...

This photo is actually of Terrell's feet. Charlie thinks that the pictures of my feet are "too scary" for my blog. So you can just imagine what my toes must look like. Especially when you consider the punishment they have taken since May.

If I don't post again until Christmas, please understand it's just because I couldn't find a long enough extension cord to get my foot spa to my computer.

  2. Jen you are a gem in more than one way! As a survivor I salute your efforts to raise money for research. God knows if the "recommendations" of the last few days are followed more and more women will be diagnosed at later stages. It terrifies me that if these recommendations are followed women like me WOULD have tumors so developed that there would be little hope for us.

    Hope you're feet recover soon and I'd be happy to donate a pedicure your way.

  7. WTG Jen and the entire More the Merrier Walkers for Knockers team!
    I was afraid you were not going to make it due to your recent health problems. I was going to encourage you not to go and take the chance of passing out, being carried away by an ambulance or just spreading your wonderful sick germs to others. I hoped you knew what you were doing so I kept my mouth shut. Another victory for the pink and more money towards research was achieved by a group of women who have proved they can accomplish anything they put their minds to do (well actually their feet did much of the work). Hip, hip, hurray!!

  11. I am so impressed with you. You MADE IT!!!!! Yay. :)

    Oh and the Epson Salts are to soak in. Pore them in a bath and soak. It helps, although I have no idea how.

    PS: Is that foot spa any good? My mom always complains of pain in her feet at the end of the day and I was wondering if these are any good?
