No, not that<\/em> kind.<\/p>\n

THIS KIND!<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Some of you know (because I\u2019ve told you personally or perhaps you read about it HERE<\/a>) that next weekend (Nov. 15-17) I am going to be walking the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk for the Cure for Breast Cancer in San Diego.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sixty miles in three days.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

I KNOW! Look at me, the so-not-athletic one who almost never<\/em> works out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
But I\u2019m GONNA DO IT.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m doing it for the many many (too many) women in my life who have battled breast cancer, and I\u2019m walking it for three people in particular: My mother, Helen, who is a survivor now finishing a course of treatment for the cancer that returned seven years after her double-mastectomy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m walking it in memory of my beloved Aunt Patti, my mother\u2019s best friend and my brother\u2019s godmother, who passed away when I was 12 after a long battle with the disease.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And I\u2019m walking it for my dear friend, the mighty mighty Margaret Feinberg<\/a>, who was diagnosed over the summer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Because, as most of you know, I am a journalist who works best under deadline pressure, I\u2019m sending this plea out last-minute on a Sunday in the hopes that you might be willing to sponsor me (even a few bucks would be super helpful) in the walk. Sponsorship promises are due tomorrow (Monday).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
See? Deadline pressure.<\/div>\n

Here\u2019s the link to my sponsorship page: SAVE THE BOOBIES!!!<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n
If you would consider making a small donation or sponsoring me mile for mile, or sending up prayers and intentions against shin splints and the like, I\u2019d be most grateful.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks for listening. Thanks for always loving and supporting me.<\/div>\n
