Art For Charity - Avon Walk For Breast Cancer

I decided to do the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on Sep. 11-12th in Santa Barbara. A friend is walking and I thought it would be a great challenge for me. Well, actually, it'll be a HUGE challenge for me, as I have fibromyalgia and it's a 39 mile walk. It's 26-27 miles on day one & 13 miles on day 2. I've been walking almost every day for the past 3 months, averaging 2 miles per day, so I had already been training. So it worked out great.

Since the event is less than 2 months away, I had to think of the best way to generate donations, to get me on the fast pace to raising $1,800. I had 1,000's of items between my 3 online stores, so I decided that would be a great start at raising funds. I began sharing my goal in various networking circles and asking for support.

So now I have to hope that all the networking will pay off & I will get my $1,800 . . . in sales . . . in donations and in other fundraising events, so I can walk on Sep. 11th & 12th. I did a 10 mile training walk last weekend and was very happy that the serious pain didn't start until around mile 8.5. That was a huge pleasant surprise. The walk deifinitely fueled the desire to make this happen, to continually have a mind over matter outlook in dealing with my fibromyalgia, to push my body and to help a cause that is important to me.
