10 Years. Phenomenal people. Phenomenal commitment.

What a spectacular day it was for our 10^th walk season kick-off! We had first year walkers (whooohoooo!) and walkers all of the way through 9^th and 10^th years walking. Andrea G. is the longest walker, this being her 13^th year participating in breast cancer fundraising walks! Phenomenal people. Phenomenal commitment.

We started the walk with 110 seconds of silence. Each of these seconds marked a life lost today to breast cancer. After the impact and change to our team from of the Komen situation earlier this year, I asked everyone to take these 110 seconds to reflect upon the many deeply personal reasons we walk. It was an opportunity to honor our personal event choice, other walker’s choices and to honor the people for whom we walk. Then, we began the first part of the walk in silence to reflect, ground ourselves and set our intentions for this year.

We then made our way on an easy breezy 8 miles through our beloved Presidio by crisscrossing streets due to the crazy road construction. We stopped at the very swanky bathrooms at the Rob Hill Campground, got a peak at the new Doyle Drive tunnel and made our way back along the waterfront promenade. A terrific first walk of the season. The bar has been set high!

Thank you all for taking the HUGE step to register for your walk, to come out for training on a Saturday morning, for fundraising, and for your commitment to finding an end to breast cancer in our lifetime. I know that we are all walking in memory of or in honor of very dear people. I am honored to share the road with you and we hope to see you soon!

CHANGE IS AFOOT EVERYWHERE!

The Presidio is undergoing so much change! Road, trails and more. As I plan our walk routes for this year we will all have to be flexible when we come to a point, like today, when the road we have always used is closed.  I’ll do my best to pre-scout but like I always say, pack your sense of adventure!
