Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
September 13-14, 2008
On Sunday morning, my friends from North High School JROTC really, really, REALLY, surprised me!!!!! They all wore special hand-designed pink T-shirts that read, "The Momma Soo-Hoo Project", accessorized with crowns, hats, wands, and posters!!!!! They did all of this, and joined the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Long Beach on my behalf!!! The official route started at El Dorado Park and ended at the Queen Mary. That's a very longggggg walk! And it's an even longer walk back to the car! Did anyone make it to the end, 5K or 10K?!?!? I'd be lucky if I can make it around the block! Thanks for helping and for walking everyone!
With the help of organizations like Avon, your support will be felt by many people, especially when they find a cure for cancer! I am sooooo proud of you, and I am sooooo happy to be a part of the NHS JROTC!!! Your support has moved me beyond words of expression. You've actually left me speechless!!! For those of you who know me, that's a really big accomplishment in itself!!! All I can say is, "YOU ROCK MY WORLD!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!"
NHS JRTOC, all pretty in pink! By the way, I didn't get that memo!!!
They appear to have the same figure and same skin tone, but only from their neck to their knees... Interesting, very interesting...
I want this decal for my car!!! Super Soo-Hoo!!!!!
I really like the sound of that!!! hee hee hee
Is that a pink bra on this van? Hmmm. No comment.
Oooh! I can really use that pink wig for this winter!!!
Gaby (on the left), God blessed you with so much talent! Thank you for sharing your it with all of us!!!
Macho men wear pink too!!! You're looking GOOD, Sergeant Major Duran!!! Hey, what ever happened to your matching CSM princess dome hat?
Nice smiles, and very nice beads!!!
This was a great hair idea! I'll have to remember this one, maybe for next year, eh???

I thank our Lord God Almighty for surrounding me with so many loving people in my life. I am sooooooo touched, soooooo moved, and I feel soooooo loved!!! My God, my family, my friends, NHS JROTC, my church, my neighbors, my support groups, I thank you ALL for everything!!! Your love, support, and friendship truly mean the world to me!!!
I was unable to join our group in the Avon walk this year. But, with the ultimate healing hands of God, my body will be whole again. When I finish my treatments, I'll have to start training for next year's Avon walk. Does anyone want to join me?!?!? This offer goes out to anyone reading this blog, plus anyone and everyone you're connected with! (hint hint hint) Let me know, so we can make some plans! Have your peeps call my peeps, eh?!?!?!? Together, we can make a difference, and have fun doing it!!! God bless you!!!

Hey, they walked right by my condo! I wish I would've known ahead of time, I would have cheered them on and then some.
Berda,
I will walk with you next year.
The ROTC is amazing, they really care.
