Supporting "Double D"

Today was the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk here in Michigan. Walkers raise money and then walk 20 miles a day for 3 days. 60 miles total! It was incredibly emotional just as a sideline supporter. We saw people of all shapes and sizes. Little people, skinny people, tall people, old and young people all walking. Some were in wheelchair's and some had braces on their legs. But through it all, they were walking. What an inspiration!

My friend Kristina from work and her friend were walking in the event. Michelle, her daughter, and I dicided to go and support her. Her team name was "Double D." Naturally for the boob reference but more importantly, they both knew someone whose name began with D that was affected by breast cancer.


As I got to the cheering site, we saw this.



These are the people helping the walkers cross the street safely!


Here are more walkers as we anxiously await "Double D."


Here is Michelle and Taylor holding the signs we made. I went around the labs and offices and got as many signatures as I could for the poster.


Then we finally see them. The "Double D"!!!


Kristina, me, Taylor, and Michelle.


As Kristina and her friend were walking off to complete the rest of the 20 miles for the day, she told us that the van was the relief van to pick up walkers that couldn't walk anymore that day. Notice all the bras! I just had to capture the moment!
