Cheering for Walkers
Mom and I were part of the cheering section for walkers in the 3 Day 60 mile Susan G. Komen walk Saturday morning. A participant in the walk, Amy Miller Crandall, and I went to high school together and reconnected on facebook a few years ago. She lost her mother to breast cancer and is doing everything that she can to prevent that from happening to other people. She said that she would add Pauline's name to the list of people that she is walking for. So, mom and I went to see her at one of the cheering section to give her big hugs and lots of encouragement. We were cheering for all of the walkers as they went by us. We met a couple who are part of the staff and they around to all of the walks and cheer, help or walk themselves. The husband was a hoot. I will post pictures after I get them off of Mom's camera. Mom just seemed to really enjoy herself in this situation. She was cheering walkers on, talking to people. She was in her element! I was so proud!
