We are strong because the journey demands it.
Together in body and united in spirit, we lay down our footsteps for this generation and the next.
This is our promise: a world without breast cancer.
Day Two and Day Three began on a nature trail which passed this beautiful pond filled with lily pads.
These "Walker Stalkers" followed us everywhere.
This man is a soldier currently serving in Iraq. He wanted to do the walk for his sister, and he was granted a special leave in order to complete this personal mission.
Priceless indeed.
Lauren and Leann, my old teammates from the 2002 walk, now crew members running a pit stop.
So close to the end (you can see the Boston skyline in the distance), but still so far away. These little cheerleaders really helped get me through.
Somehow I made it through to the end, one of the two last walkers in. I was greeted by the incredible sight of the 1900 or so walkers who had come in before me yelling and cheering. Blisters? What blisters?
As we made our way to Closing Ceremonies, the path was lined with our wonderful Crew members.

The Survivor Circle completes our three days.
Why we walk.
