WOW - Tag Day Success

WOW - what a success from both a monetary and an emotional point of view. Rachel, Maureen and I raised $665 for the Walk to End Women's Cancers. woo hoo

The patrons of the Aurora Yonge St Liquor store were amazing. They gave so much today, yes dollars, but also stories and even tears. We were all shocked at how many women came up and told us that they were breast cancer survivors. A man gave us $20 and told us how his mom had just been given the all clear, they had discovered breast cancer in January. He had tears in his eyes, we had tears in our eyes. One women had both breasts removed and had recovered from breast cancer 3 times. One women talked to us for 20 minutes. They just wanted to tell their stories.

Goosebumps were breaking out on my arms all day at their stories, their generosity and their praise. It was likea big pep talk. I am so glad we are doing this.

Thank you and walk on
