- 2013 3-Day was great. I raised $2,783 and enjoyed an amazing experience with our (then) new team the BC Babes. We danced our way through 60 miles of beautiful weather. Check out the photos on Facebook
- 2014 was another great event -- I raised $2,473 and walked with the Babes, ending up as the top fundraising team in Michigan, with more than $100,000 in donations! More photos on Facebook....
- 2015 started as the usual 3-Day season -- Somehow, I raised $3,300 for the Michigan event and said it was my last walk. But then ... realizing I had $1,000 to put toward another walk, decided to walk in San Diego. Raised my $2,300 for that, and had an Ah-MAZING adventure - and there are some great photos for that one!
So ... I took 2016 off. Cheered at the Michigan event, but didn't walk.
Then started missing it.
So now, I'm registered for the 2017 San Diego 3-Day. Why San Diego?
- The views are amazing. If I am going to toil through 60 miles, it might as well be beautiful!
- The stay will be inexpensive. Through the generosity of a few friends, I won't have much (if any) hotel expense. Flight is about it.
- I loved the event. Last year, there were 2,600 walkers in San Diego, compared to around 500 in Michigan. That makes a HUGE different in the energy and the excitement, and makes 60 miles a lot easier.
In the year I took "off," I had three friends get scary mammogram results (that I know of). I had two friend diagnosed and treated (that I know of). And every few days, I look at the office next to mine and miss Debbie, who died entirely too young.
So there you have it. Thanks for hanging around for another whirl. And thanks for donating -- I couldn't do this without you: http://www.the3day.org/goto/jcarbary
