On August 24, I will turn 50. I wanted a celebration that I would remember for the next fifty years. So, I decided to celebrate life by walking 60 miles in the Breast Cancer 3-Day with thousands of other women and men. For three days in the Twin Cities, I will sleep on the ground in a two-person tent, eat meals in outdoor facilities, shower in a truck, restroom in a porta-potty, and truly have an awesome experience.
